[Verse 1]
C#
We're a million volts in a pool of light

Electricity in the room tonight
A#m
Born from fire
G# F#
Sparks flying from the sun

Yeah, I hardly know you, can I confess
F#
I feel your heart beatin' in my chest
A#m
If you come with me
G# F#
Tonight is gonna be the one
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
'Cause you're faith in no fear for the fight
F#
You pull hope from defeat in the night
A#m G#
There's an image of you in my mind
F#
Could be mad but you might just be right
[Chorus]
C#
We are the people we've been waiting for
F#
Out of the ruins of hate and war
A#m G#
Army of lovers never seen before
F#
We are the people we've been waiting for
C#
We are the people of the open hand
F#
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
A#m G#
We'll build it better than we did before
F#
We are the people we've been waiting for

From a broken place

That's where the victories won
