We're a million volts in a pool of light
Electricity in the room tonight
Born from fire, sparks flying from the sun
Hey, I hardly know you, can I confess
I feel your heart beating 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
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
A 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
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
