Lyrics
listen.
that's you.
still here.
[VERSE 1 — voix douce, presque chuchotée. Intime. Guitare acoustique seule. Le cœur bat en dessous]
I know the road got heavy.
I know the light went thin.
I know you carried more
than anyone should carry —
I know where you have been.
The town that lost its center.
The family stretched too far.
The dream that kept on shrinking.
But you never lost the scar
that proves you fought this hard.
[REFRAIN — la guitare électrique entre doucement. La caisse claire. La voix s'ouvre, chaleureuse, large — pas un cri, un bras tendu]
You should be great again.
Not the flag, not the name —
You — the hands that hold the broken,
you — the ones who stayed.
You should be great again.
You were always the heart.
Not the noise. Not the power.
You were the greatest part.
[VERSE 2 — même chaleur. La basse entre. Le heartbeat revient légèrement en surface]
I see you in the morning,
before the world wakes up.
I see you at the table,
counting what is left —
and still, you fill the cup.
The nurse, the builder, teacher,
the mother holding on,
the kid who keeps on walking
through a world that got it wrong.
You were never, never gone.
[REFRAIN]
You should be great again.
Not the flag, not the name —
You — the hands that hold the broken,
you — the ones who stayed.
You should be great again.
You were always the heart.
Not the noise. Not the power.
You were the greatest part.
[PONT — le heartbeat remonte, clairement audible. La musique se pose, s'allège. La voix presque spoken. Chaque ligne comme un souffle]
This heartbeat in your chest
is older than the noise.
It carried you through everything.
It knows your real voice.
It says: hold on.
It says: hold on.
It says: hold on.
[DERNIER REFRAIN — tout le groupe. Plein et large. La voix monte, chaleureuse. C'est l'arrivée, pas l'explosion]
You should be great again.
Not the flag, not the name —
You — the hands that hold the broken,
you — the ones who stayed.
You should be great again.
You are already the heart.
Not the noise. Not the power.
You were the greatest part.
You were the greatest part.
[OUTRO — le heartbeat revient seul. Une guitare acoustique, la même note qu'au début. La voix, à peine audible]
still here.
still beating.
still you.
(heartbeat seul — puis silence)
