Sunrise is our anthem

Verse 1

Yellow sun on the concrete floor

Every hand that danced still finds my shoulder

Spill a cup of cold water down my neck

Tell me again why morning's here so fast

Cousin playing one more note from his keys

Sister pulls me in, we don't let go

Bare feet on the tar, nobody goes home

The whole street's singing like it's never been before

We turn up loud and keep on turning round

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the sky getting ready to burst open?

Every voice that's been quiet starts to roar

This isn't goodbye; this is just another dawn

So let your hands stay right where they are

Chorus

We dance till sunrise, we dance till sunrise

Shoes leave prints on the street like our names in gold

Hold me close and hold it all for a little longer

Sunrise is our anthem, nobody's leaving home tonight

We sing till morning moves up to the balcony rail

The world outside still dark but we already know what's real

So don't stop now, keep moving your feet

Sunrise is our anthem

Verse 2

Auntie takes a picture with her phone at arm's length

Says this moment doesn't come around here often enough

Turn the music up until the bass line starts to hum in harmony with my heartbeat

We don't care if the world outside is still dark, still cold

This floor's full of our own rhythm that we don't need a record for

Just feet on the tar and voices like a stormy sea

Shake it till the yellow comes pouring through the door

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the sky getting ready to burst open?

Every voice that's been quiet starts to roar

This isn't goodbye; this is just another dawn

So let your hands stay right where they are

Chorus

We dance till sunrise, we dance till sunrise

Shoes leave prints on the street like our names in gold

Hold me close and hold it all for a little longer

Sunrise is our anthem, nobody's leaving home tonight

We sing till morning moves up to the balcony rail

The world outside still dark but we already know what's real

So don't stop now, keep moving your feet

Sunrise is our anthem

Bridge

No clock ticking on this yard today

Just a drum that never says goodbye

Spill one more cup of water down my neck and smile for the picture

We'll be back here when the sun sets again, same exact line

So we dance in the dark with our feet still moving free

This is how the morning comes to find us

Chorus

We dance till sunrise, we dance till sunrise

Shoes leave prints on the street like our names in gold

Hold me close and hold it all for a little longer

Sunrise is our anthem, nobody's leaving home tonight

We sing till morning moves up to the balcony rail

The world outside still dark but we already know what's real

So don't stop now, keep moving your feet

Sunrise is our anthem
