We walked across the desert of despair Gasping for a single breath of air We saw the empires crumble into dust Losing all our innocence and trust But in the deepest valley of the night We held onto a tiny spark of light Refusing to surrender to the grave This is the beginning of the brave We carried all the weight upon our back Walking down the broken, jagged track Look at the horizon, starting to gleam Waking up from the terrible dream! The shadows are fleeing, the darkness recedes We're planting the future with glorious seeds! Here comes the sun, breaking the dark! Lighting the fire inside of our heart! We are the rising, we are the strong! This is the place where we finally belong! Lift up your voices, let them be heard Singing the beautiful, conquering word! The dawn of the brave! Rising from the ashes to save! Every scar we carry is a badge Every broken bridge is a passage We turn the heavy sorrow into gold A beautiful story waiting to be told Stand beside me, shoulder to shoulder We are growing wiser, we are growing bolder The walls that kept us bound are falling down We are the royalty without a crown For all the generations yet to come We march to the beat of a unified drum No more dividing, no more the fear The promised tomorrow is finally here! A symphony of hope is taking flight Erasing the sorrow, igniting the night! Out of the ashes, into the sky! We will not fall, we will defy! Nothing can stop us, nothing can break! Look at the glorious world that we make! Here comes the sun, breaking the dark! Lighting the fire inside of our heart! We are the rising, we are the strong! This is the place where we finally belong! Lift up your voices, let them be heard Singing the beautiful, conquering word! The dawn of the brave! Rising from the ashes to save! We are the brave! Shining so bright! Into the light! We won't back down, we'll stand our ground!
