[Intro — soft, playful] Lanterns glowing, mountain air, Steam is rising everywhere, Leave the headlines at the door, Tonight we're heroes off the clock. No alarms and no patrol, Just tired hearts and weary souls, For one night underneath these skies, We get to breathe, we get to smile. [Verse 1] Red wings resting by the stone, Hawks says, “Guess we made it home.” Mic is shouting way too loud, Like two thousand is a stadium crowd. Aizawa sinks beneath the steam, “Wake me when this stops being a team.” All Might raises up his glass, Laughing like the years rolled back. Endeavor swears he’s not relaxed, Nobody here believes that act, Nighteye watches chaos bloom— Already planning everyone’s doom. [Pre-Chorus] We run, we fall, We answer every call, But tonight there’s nothing left to prove. So raise your hands, Let the whole world understand— Sometimes heroes need a night like this too. [Chorus] We’re brighter together, Under lantern light, Two thousand voices Shining through the night. Through every battle, Through every stormy sky, We found each other— And we’re still flying high. Hey! Raise it up, let the whole world know, Every little spark helped this fire grow. Brighter together, Whatever comes our way— Tonight we celebrate. [Verse 2] Gang Orca’s calm beside the wall, Till Mirko splashes everyone at all, Hound Dog growls, ears pinned flat, Mic laughs harder—bad choice, that. Jeanist sits with perfect grace, Judging every towel out of place, Fat Gum’s dreaming of the feast, Counting down till snacks release. Kamui says he’s “relaxing fine,” Mt. Lady steals the better light, Snipe just watches from the side, Like, “Y’all are crazy. I’ll survive.” Midnight smiles across the steam, Queen of knowing everything, And somehow all this noisy mess Feels a little bit like happiness. [Pre-Chorus] We fight, we climb, We give it all our time, Chasing every sunrise down. But here and now, We can finally slow it down— No masks, no ranks, no watching crowd. [Chorus] We’re brighter together, Under lantern light, Two thousand voices Shining through the night. Through every battle, Through every stormy sky, We found each other— And we’re still flying high. Hey! Raise it up, let the whole world know, Every little spark helped this fire grow. Brighter together, Whatever comes our way— Tonight we celebrate. [Bridge — starts emotional, builds] Maybe numbers aren’t the reason That tonight means quite this much. Maybe every laugh and message, Every story, every touch, Built a place we could return to, Built a light that wouldn’t fade. So here’s to every single person Who chose to stay. [Build] One voice! Two voices! Hundreds joining in! Two thousand hearts— LET THE PARTY BEGIN! [Final Chorus — full ensemble] WE’RE BRIGHTER TOGETHER! Under lantern light! Two thousand voices Shining through the night! Through every battle, Through every stormy sky, We found each other— AND WE’RE STILL FLYING HIGH! Hey! Raise it up, let the whole world know, Every little spark helped this fire grow! Brighter together, Whatever comes our way— Tonight we celebrate! [Outro — laughing group vocals] No missions tonight, No villains in sight, Just steam, bad jokes, And way too much noise. So here’s to the stories Still waiting ahead— Two thousand strong... And we’re not done yet.
