I have waited my whole life for a chance to be heard
And not ignored to ask you a simple question. (a simple question)
Do you feel alive?
Well i'm tryin'. i'm dyin' to fill the air with vibrant lights and sounds.
Don't doubt my fire.

Hold on.
This is who we are.
(whoa)

We are hatred and we are love.
We are the darkest days. we are brighter than the most brilliant stars above.
We are the angels and we are the demons.
We are the broken hearts. we are the healing of wounds.
An electric spark in a hopeless mind.
An endless rotation of life and time.

Hold on.
This is who we are.
(whoa)
Hold on.
We are the nation.
(whoa)

Darker days have come and passed.
Well the years they have come. they will surely last.
The months turn the seasons from gold to grey.
An endless rotation. we are the nation.

Crowds have gathered to hear the truth.
To see the light. to feel anew.
Embrace each moment like the rising sun.
We are one.

Hold on.
This is who we are.
So hold on. yeah we are the nation.

Darker days have come and passed.
Well the years they have come. they will surely last.
The months turn the seasons from gold to grey.
An endless rotation. we are the nation.

Crowds have gathered to hear the truth.
To see the light. to feel anew.
Embrace each moment like the rising sun.
We are one.

Hold on. (and i can't make it through this)
Hold on. (and i can't make it through this)
Hold on to this endless rotation. (and i can't make it through this)

Hold on. (and i can't make it through this)
Hold on. (and i can't make it through this)
Hold on to this endless rotation. (and i can't make it through this)
