Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I light a room with a flip of a switch
But I never forged the wires that carried it
Water runs and the toilet spins
But I didn't shape the pipe or dig it in
Every click, every glow, every screen I touch
Comes from hands that gave so much
I live in towers I didn't design
Walk through doors opened by time
[Pre-Chorus]
The fire was lit by another's spark
I just carry it through the dark
[Chorus]
I stand on shoulders taller than mine
Built by pain, love, and sacrifice
Through dust and flame and blood and light
They gave me this life, they gave me this time
I stand on shoulders taller than mine
[Verse 2]
AI thinks and I barely know how
But someone dared to teach machines to feel now
My voice echoes on air and wire
Because someone dared to dream higher
Their footsteps echo under my floor
I didn't break--but they kicked in the door
[Pre-Chorus]
The world I know is borrowed breath
Carved from grit, and life, and death
[Chorus]
I stand on shoulders taller than mine
Built by pain, love, and sacrifice
Through dust and flame and blood and light
They gave me this life, they gave me this time
I stand on shoulders taller than mine
