[Intro — immediate hook] We’re still here— we’re still standing. [Verse 1] Smoke in the air, dust in our lungs Same old fear, but we’re not done Every street’s a scar we learned to read Every mile says “leave,” but we don’t leave Hands get cut on the rusted past But we build it back ‘cause we build it fast Not ‘cause it’s easy— ‘cause it’s right We put a light where there was no light [Pre-Chorus] If the world went silent, we answer loud If the walls went up, we tear ‘em down [Chorus] We’re reconnecting the world One spark, one wire, one voice at a time Yeah we’re rebuilding the ruins Turning dead air into a sign of life If you’re out there, if you’re barely alive Hold on— we’re coming tonight We’re reconnecting the world [Instrumental Pocket — 4–8 bars for name cards] (guitars + drums continue; drop to bass for 2 bars, then back) [Verse 2] Board up the windows, sweep the glass Drag the hope out of the aftermath Every town’s a pulse that fell behind We bring it back, we make it rise No saints here, just stubborn bones Trying to make a place feel like home No speeches— just get it done We were lost, now we’re the ones [Pre-Chorus] If the dark wants blood, we give it fire If the night wants us, we don’t expire [Chorus] We’re reconnecting the world One spark, one wire, one voice at a time Yeah we’re rebuilding the ruins Turning dead air into a sign of life If you’re out there, if you’re barely alive Hold on— we’re coming tonight We’re reconnecting the world [Bridge — half-time, heavier] Let it shake— let it hurt Let the old world burn in the dirt We don’t need it to save us We save ourselves— we save each other [Final Chorus — biggest] We’re reconnecting the world One spark, one wire, one voice at a time Yeah we’re rebuilding the ruins Turning dead air into a sign of life If you’re out there, if you’re barely alive Hold on— we’re coming tonight We’re reconnecting the world [Outro — loopable] We’re still here— we’re still standing.
