Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon Your Greatness and she'll send the call out
(Send the call out)
(Send the call out)
(Send the call out)
(Send the call out)
(Send the call out)
(Send the call out)
(Send the call out)
(Send the call out)
(Send the call out)

(Send the call out)

Call all the ladies out
They're in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in
Their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room

Dancin' around the words we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
Even the comatose they don't dance and tell

We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team

I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there
So the dishes got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn't my fault
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
'Cause what this palace wants is release

We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team

I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I'm kinda older than I was when I reveled without a care
So there

We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know, we're on each other's team




We're on each other's team
And you know, and you know, and you know

Overall Meaning

In "Team" by KIDZ BOP Kids, the song talks about the power of unity and finding comfort in being there for each other. The opening lines "Wait 'til you're announced, we've not yet lost all our graces, the hounds will stay in chains, look upon your greatness and she'll send the call out" seem to be directed towards someone who is waiting for their moment to shine, and that when it happens, they will be recognized as great. The song then transitions into calling out to all the ladies, who are dressed in finery with jewels on their throats and teeth, and asking them to bring in the boys.


The lyrics then talk about how even those who appear comatose aren't always as they seem and can still dance and enjoy life. The next few lines highlight how the group lives in cities that are not portrayed on-screen, but they know how to live and run things in their own way. They live in ruins of a palace within their own dreams, and despite not being conventionally pretty, they are still there for each other and are on the same team.


The chorus repeats how they live in cities that are not seen on-screen but that they know how to run things, and they are on each other's team. The repeated lines of "I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there, so there" and "I'm kinda older than I was when I reveled without a care, so there" suggest that the group is tired of conforming to societal norms and expectations and that they have grown and matured.


Overall, the song "Team" by KIDZ BOP Kids is about finding solace in togetherness, even in difficult times. It showcases the idea that being there for each other is more important than conforming to societal standards.
