TwentyFive

Verse 1

Class

Sitting silent

Twenty-five faces staring at the dusty tiles

Learning lessons

Bending borders

Breaking the bank of information just to find the hidden truth

Staring

Waiting

Watching for the signal

The captain of the room is pointing at the map

Nobody moves

Nobody breathes

Nobody asks why the world is spinning off the tracks

Silver pens

Sharp minds

Scuffing up the floor with the weight of the future

Heavy lifting

Mental shifting

Drifting through the pages like a storm is coming

One chance

Two roads

Three ways to end up in the gutter with a broken dream

I see the fire in their pupils

I see the hunger in the way they grip the wooden desk

Hard work

Hard luck

Hard times coming for the kids who think it's easy

Simple

Plain

Done

Chorus

Twenty-five souls on a mission for the gold

Twenty-five souls doing exactly what they're told

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Voyagers of knowledge with a story to be sold

Voyagers of knowledge staying brave and staying bold

Post-Chorus

Yeah

Moving on up

Keep moving

Keep moving

Verse 2

Focus

Clear vision

Twenty-five hearts beating like a heavy drum

Pressure rising

Water boiling

Toiling in the basement just to get a little slice of life

One soul

Two souls

Three souls falling out the window of the system

Calculated

Cold

Planned

They want to see us fail before we even reach the gate

Lock it down

Shut it out

Keep the focus tight until the clock starts ticking backwards

Dirty water

Clean slate

Greatness is a heavy crown for twenty-five heads

Blood

Sweat

Tears

Years of grinding just to be a ghost inside a textbook

I found the key

I found the door

I found the reason why we're fighting for a piece of nothing

Hold it

Keep it

Lose it

Chorus

Twenty-five souls on a mission for the gold

Twenty-five souls doing exactly what they're told

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Voyagers of knowledge with a story to be sold

Voyagers of knowledge staying brave and staying bold

Bridge

They said we'd never make it out the hallway

They said we'd never find the path

They said we'd never be the ones to change it

But the numbers don't lie

Twenty-five strong

Twenty-five long

Twenty-five wrong steps and you're gone forever

Chorus

Twenty-five souls on a mission for the gold

Twenty-five souls doing exactly what they're told

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Searching for the light

Voyagers of knowledge with a story to be sold

Voyagers of knowledge staying brave and staying bold

Outro

Class dismissed

Twenty-five gone

Into the wild

Into the wild

Yeah

Voyagers

Gone
