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

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, no, no
And 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...
We're gonna build it up, gonna build it up
