Lyrics

We're standing at the crossroads with the future in our hands,
Trying hard to understand the shape of all these changing plans.
Every headline feels uncertain, every day a brand-new start,
But there's fire in our footsteps and a beating in our hearts.

We're searching for a purpose in the noise of everything,
Trying to find a place where all our voices mean something.
We don't want to just exist here -- we want lives that make a mark,
Lighting candles in the daylight, bringing colour to the dark.

(Chorus)
'Cause we're the voices of tomorrow, rising up to take our turn,
We've got dreams that won't stay quiet and a world we want to learn.
We're not asking for permission -- just a chance to follow through,
We've got so much we can offer, let us show what we can do.

We're tired of being spoken for by those who never hear,
We're ready for the moment when our truth is loud and clear.
We want to build a future where we all have room to grow,
Where the value of our kindness is the strength we choose to show.

(Bridge)
And someday when we're older, looking back on where we've been,
We'll remember how it started with a spark beneath our skin.
All the doubts we had will fade, but the courage will remain --
We were young, but we were ready to step out into the rain.

(Chorus)
'Cause we're the voices of tomorrow, rising up to take our turn,
We've got dreams that won't stay quiet and a world we want to learn.
We're not asking for permission -- just a chance to follow through,
We've got so much we can offer, let us show what we can do.

So here we stand together with our hopes held open wide,
And the world may keep on changing, but we'll meet it side by side.
We're the ones who'll shape the future with the choices that we make --
And we're ready now to rise for what's at stake.
