Lyrics

[00:15.20] Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground-breakers.
[00:23.02] Our buildings rival the heavens.
[00:27.06] Our bridges span the seas.
[00:31.80] Ingenuity is so cunning.
[00:36.35] Innovation is not ours.
[00:38.60] Creativity is a luxury.
[00:42.60] We build with our hands what we have in our hearts.
[00:47.10]
[00:47.70] Fight the avalanche.
[00:49.61] You'll be buried every time.
[00:51.71] We run and run and run.
[00:54.10] Keep falling behind.
[00:56.27] Fight the avalanche.
[00:58.30] You'll be buried every time.
[01:00.70] We run and run and run.
[01:02.80] Always last in line.
[01:06.30]
[01:13.80] Before lines were lines,
[01:15.80] before time was time,
[01:18.27] the Author wrote a story in he sky, and earth below.
[01:22.70] Little do we know we have only what we're given.
[01:27.03] Light up the sky(light up the sky).
[01:28.60] We're going where no man has ever gone.
[01:31.72] Little do we know we have only what we're given.
[01:36.30] Light up the sky. We're going where no man's forgotten.
[01:40.90]
[01:42.20] All You are is all we want. It burns inside us all.
[01:49.90] We're finding heart in giving soul.
[01:53.90] We're walking home into thin air singing....
[01:58.30]
[02:31.45] We are justice fighters with faces of fire.
[02:35.43] Many walk away, but we stand firm.
[02:39.30] We are justice fighters with faces of fire
[02:43.40] Our decisions affect our descendants.
[02:47.60]
[02:55.10] WE ARE JUSTICE FIGHTERS
[02:59.10] WITH FACES OF FIRE.
[03:02.90]
[03:17.80] Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground-breakers.
[03:25.50] Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history.
[03:33.10] Skyscrapers, earthmovers, ground-breakers.
[03:40.60] Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history
[03:48.40]
