"Empire" lyrics

In the darkest of days
Sometimes we find out who we are
Be the change or hit the bottom, hit it hard
We have a choice, yeah, we can take the power away
And turn it into something to believe in, believe in
It's up to you, it's up to you

Voices rising like a church choir
Light it up like a wildfire
Sending these dreams higher and higher and higher
Till they come to life
Tired of feeling like an outsider
Made to believe I was an outlier
I'm not the only one who's inspired
We're gonna turn these dreams

Into an empire, empire
The pain into an empire, empire
The rage into an empire, empire
We're gonna build it up, gonna build it up
Empire

Won't see us walking away
'Cause now we made it this far
We ain't ashamed, we ain't ashamed of who we are
We made a choice, this army's here to stay
And trust me, this is something to believe in, achieve it
It's up to you, it's up to you

Voices rising like a church choir
Light it up like a wildfire
Sending these dreams higher and higher and higher
Till they come to life
Tired of feeling like an outsider
Made to believe I was an outlier
I'm not the only one who's inspired
We're gonna turn these dreams

Into an empire, empire
The pain into an empire, empire
The rage into an empire, empire
We're gonna build it up, gonna build it up
Empire

This is it, it's our time to rise up
No one can stop us
Brick by brick we'll break this wall
That's closing in on us
In this moment now
We're proud and we're free and we're brave

Voices rising like a church choir
Light it up like a wildfire
Sending these dreams higher and higher and higher
Till they come to life
Tired of feeling like an outsider
Made to believe I was an outlier
I'm not the only one who's inspired
We're gonna turn these dreams

Into an empire, empire
The pain into an empire, empire
The rage into an empire, empire
We're gonna build it up, gonna build it up

Into an empire
Into an empire
Into an empire
We're gonna build it up, gonna build it up
