Prompt

Uplifting arena pop anthem with soaring male lead vocal, huge sing-along chorus, punchy four-on-the-floor drums, bright synth stabs, anthemic "whoa-oh" backing chants. Energetic, festival-ready, radio-polished production. Key change lift into the final chorus. Stadium-sized, triumphant, hands-in-the-air energy. Think Coldplay meets The Killers meets Imagine Dragons — bright, hopeful, cinematic build from intro to final drop-chorus.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You came in with the rain on your coat
And a grin like a dare
Old bruises on your sleeves
Still you climbed the stairs

I kept a light on low
In a room full of doubt
You kicked the door with hope
And turned it inside out

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
We're almost there
Feel that shake
Up through the air

One more breath
One more mile
Come on now
Wear that smile

[Chorus]
Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We can take it higher
Hands in the air

Whoa-oh
We were born to rise
Whoa-oh
Look us in the eyes

[Verse 2]
Your name on the back of my throat
Like a fire in June
I was counting every crack
Then you kicked in tune

Now the floor is moving fast
And the walls lean back
Every scar turns gold
When the crowd says that

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
We're almost there
Feel that shake
Up through the air

One more breath
One more mile
Come on now
Wear that smile

[Chorus]
Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We can take it higher
Hands in the air

Whoa-oh
We were born to rise
Whoa-oh
Look us in the eyes

[Bridge]
If the night cuts deep
We sing it loud
If the road runs long
We pull you out

No turning back
No fading now
We are the spark
We are the crowd

[Chorus]
Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We can take it higher
Hands in the air

Whoa-oh
We were born to rise
Whoa-oh
Look us in the eyes

Hands in the air
Hands in the air
Lift it up and never let it go
Hands in the air

Whoa-oh
Take it to the sky
Whoa-oh
This is our time
