Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
(G Em C D)
Gazing at the city lights, drowned in neon daze,
(G Em C D)
In the midnight hour, we’re rising through the haze.
(G Em C D)
Lost souls wandering, searching for a grip,
(G Em C D)
With every strummed chord, we start to slip.

[Chorus]
(Am C G D)
Rising through the haze, we find our burns,
(Am C G D)
In the music, life’s wheel turns.
(Am C G D)
With every beat, we hold on tight,
(Am C G D)
In the sound of the night, we take flight.

[Verse 2]
(G Em C D)
Under the city’s glow, we found our calling,
(G Em C D)
In a world of chaos, music keeps us from falling.
(G Em C D)
With a determined grip, we strum our life’s tale,
(G Em C D)
On this rock-n-roll ship, we set sail.

[Chorus]
(Am C G D)
Rising through the haze, in rhythm, we survive,
(Am C G D)
In the symphony, we thrive.
(Am C G D)
With every melody, we ignite,
(Am C G D)
In the sound of the night, we ignite.
