We're a million volts in a pool of light

Electricity in the room tonight

I feel your heart beatin' in my chest

If you come with me

Tonight is gonna be the one
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
'Cause you're faith in no fear for the fight

You pull hope from defeat in the night
Fm D#
There's an image of you in my mind
C#
Could be mad but you might just be right
[Chorus]

We are the people we've been waiting for
C#
Out of the ruins of hate and war
Fm D#
Army of lovers never seen before
C#
We are the people we've been waiting for

We are the people of the open hand
C#
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
Fm D#
We'll build it better than we did before
