Martin Garrix - We Are The People Lyrics

Martin Garrix Lyrics

"We Are The People"
(feat. Bono & The Edge)
(Official UEFA EURO 2020 Song)

We're a million volts in a pool of lights
Electricity in the room tonight
Born from fire
Sparks flying from the sun

Yeah, I hardly know you, can I confess?
I feel your heart beatin' 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
The 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
The 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

"We Are The People" was in the making for three years and was released on the 14th of May, 2021, Martin Garrix's 25th birthday. He felt that Bono's vocals would be the perfect fit for the song. Eventually, Bono also took part in the writing of the lyrics, and The Edge added the leading guitar riff.

"Creating the music for one of the biggest sports events in the world together with Bono and The Edge has been an incredible experience. I'm very proud of what we did together and excited to finally share it with the world," said Martin Garrix in a statement about this track.

"The long wait is almost over and we are delighted to officially unveil the official song for UEFA EURO 2020 'We Are The People', which features some of the world's most celebrated artists in Martin Garrix, Bono and The Edge," said UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein.
