Intro | TRUMPET FANFARE | snare march | choir drone | crowd shouts
Come on, come on—come on, come on
Verse 1 | call-and-response | lead + choir | strict march | brass accents
(Together) We choose our road
(Together) We won’t grow old
(Together) Your hand in mine
(Together) We draw the line
(Together) We rise above
(Together) We cut the cord with love
(Together) We start again
(Together) That’s how it ends
Chorus | FULL FANFARE | BIG CHOIR | cymbal crashes | chant response
(Go west) Quiet days are there
(Go west) Wide and open air
(Go west) Under brighter blue
(Go west) That’s what we’re gonna do
chant: “GO WEST!” | response: “GO WEST!” | shout: “URAA!”
Post-Chorus | stomp chant | brass hits
Go west
That’s what we’re gonna do
Go west
Verse 2 | louder march | more horns | choir tighter
(Together) We taste the salt
(Together) No second fault
(Together) We learn, we teach
(Together) We claim the beach
(Together) We work, we strive
(Together) We build a better life
(I need you) You need me too
(I see you) So say it true
(So that’s why) I won’t object
(When you say) You’ll lead the next
Chorus | bigger | extra choir layer | timpani roll into downbeat
(Go west) Quiet days are there
(Go west) Wide and open air
(Go west) You and me, we see
(Go west) This is our destiny
(Go west) Sun in winter light
(Go west) We will be alright
(Go west) Under brighter blue
(Go west) That’s what we’re gonna do
shout: “DA!”
Bridge | cold breakdown | low brass + drone | then build fanfare
There where the wind feels free
We’ll be what we choose to be
(We’ll be)
And if we stand as one
We’ll walk into the sun
(We’ll walk)
BUILD: snare roll + timpani | trumpets rise
Verse 3 | darkest/strongest | low brass wall | choir massive
(I know that) Roads divide
(To live there) Far and wide
(Together) We’ll find a place
(To settle) More room, more space
(Without rush) No grinding gears
(The hustle) Feeding on our fears
(I know I’m) Ready to go
(So that’s what) We will show
Chorus | peak | FULL CHOIR | FULL FANFARE
(Go west) Quiet days are there
(Go west) Wide and open air
(Go west) Under brighter blue
(Go west) That’s what we’re gonna do
Final Chorus x2 | biggest | chant call/response | huge impacts
(Quiet days are there)
Go west (Wide and open air)
Go west (You and me, we see)
Go west (This is our destiny)
Come on, come on—come on, come on
(Go west) Sun in winter light
(Go west) We will be alright
(Go west) Under brighter blue
(Go west) That’s what we’re gonna do
(Come on, come on—come on, come on, go west)
repeat final chorus once more, louder choir + extra trumpets
Outro | snare marching out | choir chant fading
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
