4. Full Song Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the shadow of the skyline, we found our footing,
Underneath the neon lights, our hearts were beating.
Echoes of our laughter still linger in the air,
With every note we strum, we’re shaking off despair.
(Chorus)
We are built to last, this is more than just a past,
Our dreams are made of steel, and we won’t let them crash.
We are built to last, holding on so fast,
This love for music’s vast, we are built to last.
(Verse 2)
Strumming chords on an old guitar, we found a rhythm,
In the chaos of the night, we found a system.
With every song we sing, we’re carving out a path,
With every beat we drum, we’re building something that lasts.
(Chorus)
We are built to last, this is more than just a past,
Our dreams are made of steel, and we won’t let them crash.
We are built to last, holding on so fast,
This love for music’s vast, we are built to last.
(Bridge)
In the noise, in the silence, in the laughter, in the violence,
We found a bond that’s as strong as glue,
Through the highs, through the lows, we’re not just shadows,
Together we’re monumental, and this is our debut.
(Chorus)
We are built to last, this is more than just a past,
Our dreams are made of steel, and we won’t let them crash.
We are built to last, holding on so fast,
This love for music’s vast, we are built to last.
(Outro)
And in every note we play, in every word we say,
We’re standing tall, we’re here to stay,
We are built to last, we are built to last.
