As a child you would wait
And watch from far away
But you always knew that you'd be the one
That work while they all play

In youth, you'd lay
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change
But it was just a dream

Here we are, don't turn away, now (don't turn away, now)
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away, now (don't turn away, now)
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust

The time will come, when you will have to rise
Above the best, and prove yourself, your spirit never dies
Farewell, I've gone, to take my throne above, don't weep for me
'Cause this will be the labor of my love

Here we are, don't turn away, now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that build this town
Here we are don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that build this town
From dust

Here we are, don't turn away, now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that build this town
Here we are don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that build this town
From dust
