We Are The People
Martin Garrix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're a million volts in a pool of lights
Electricity in the room tonight
Born from fire
Sparks flying from the sun

Yeah, I hardly know you, can I confess?
I feel your heart beatin' in my chest
If you come with me
Tonight is gonna be the one

'Cause you've faith and no fear for the fight
You pull hope from defeat in the night
There's an image of you in my mind
Could be mad but you might just be right

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

We are the people of the open hand
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
We'll build it better than we did before
We are the people we've been waiting for

We are the people we've been waiting for

Broken bells and a broken church
Heart that hurts is a heart that works
From a broken place
That's where the victory's won

'Cause you've faith and no fear for the fight
You pull hope from defeat in the night
There's an image of you in my mind
Could be mad but you might just be right

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

We are the people of the open hand
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
We'll build it better than we did before
We are the people we've been waiting for





We are the people we've been waiting for

Lyrics :
We’re a million volts in a pool of light
Electricity in the room tonight
Born from fire
Sparks flying from the sun

I hardly know you
Can I confess?
I feel your heart beating in my chest
You come with me, tonight’s gonna be the one.

Cause you fade, no fear, for the fight
You pull hope from defeat in the night
There’s an image of you in my mind
Could be mad but you might just be right

We are the people we’ve been waiting for
Out of the ruins of hate and war
Army of lovers you’ve never seen before
We are the people we’ve been waiting for

We are the people of the open hand
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
We’ll build it better than we did before
We are the people we’ve been waiting for

We are the people we’ve been waiting for

Broken bells
At a broken church
A heart that hurts
Is a heart that works

From a broken place
That’s where the victory is won

Cause you fade, no fear, for the fight
You pull hope from defeat in the night
There’s an image of you in my mind
Could be mad but you might just be right

We are the people we’ve been waiting for
Out of the ruins of hate and war
Army of lovers never seen before
We are the people we’ve been waiting for

We are the people of the open hand
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
We’ll build it better than we did before
We are the people we’ve been waiting for

We are the people we’ve been waiting for
