Let’s kick it off, it’s NFL night,
Crowds are cheering, everything feels right,
Touchdowns scored, cheerleaders smile,
But the ads on TV leave us in denial.
(Clap, clap, we want more!)
Sports and music, everyone’s in tune,
(Clap, clap, feel that groove!)
But behind the scenes, whispers fill the room,
(Clap, clap, we want more!)
We all want to shine, we all want to soar,
(Clap, clap, oh so sweet!)
Yet reality bites, it's a bitter beat.
Pop songs blasting, cruising the street,
Messages of hope, but where’s the beat?
Insta-perfect snapshots, life on display,
But in the quiet nights, we just drift away.
(Clap, clap, we want more!)
Sports and music, everyone’s in tune,
(Clap, clap, feel that groove!)
But behind the scenes, whispers fill the room,
(Clap, clap, we want more!)
We all want to shine, we all want to soar,
(Clap, clap, oh so sweet!)
Yet reality bites, it's a bitter beat.
Planning a getaway, flights in the air,
Instagram dreams, but do we really care?
Back to the grind, everyday routine,
Chasing those moments feels like a dream.
Politics heat up, our hearts on fire,
Hoping for change, we all desire,
But the news keeps spinning the same old tale,
Who’s really listening when we set sail?
(Clap, clap, we want more!)
Sports and music, everyone’s in tune,
(Clap, clap, feel that groove!)
But behind the scenes, whispers fill the room,
(Clap, clap, we want more!)
We all want to shine, we all want to soar,
(Clap, clap, oh so sweet!)
Yet reality bites, it's a bitter beat.
This song’s for us, our stories to share,
Joy and sorrow, woven with care,
The American dream, still shining bright,
But don’t forget the shadows in the light.
