We Are Edison
Lyrics:
Born with a mind full of hunger to know why
Asking the questions – I am Edison
Firm on the ground but my focus is the sky
I am a dreamer – I am Edison
I will press on through failures along the way
I will believe there’s light at the end of the day
Now I will rise to the challenge of our times
I will not back down – I am Edison
We are the builders who will build a better world
Every step forward – We are Edison
We are the scroll, we’re the future to unfurl
Light in the darkness – We are Edison
We will press on through differences that may come
We will believe there is goodness in everyone
Now we will rise to the challenge of our times
We will not back down – We are Edison
We are the champions of a great and worthy cause
We are the teachers – We are Edison
We are the seekers who find treasures in our flaws
We have discovered – We are Edison
We will not hide these difficult times we face
We will believe there’s hope in the dreams they chase
Love is the call and the challenge to us all
We will not back down – We are Edison
We are young, we are bright
Now we will rise up and challenge the night
We are here, we are now
Seizing this moment – we will not back down
We – are – Edison
Firm on the ground but our focus is the sky
We are the dreamers
We are Edison
We are Edison
Asking the questions – I am Edison
Firm on the ground but my focus is the sky
I am a dreamer – I am Edison
I will press on through failures along the way
I will believe there’s light at the end of the day
Now I will rise to the challenge of our times
I will not back down – I am Edison
We are the builders who will build a better world
Every step forward – We are Edison
We are the scroll, we’re the future to unfurl
Light in the darkness – We are Edison
We will press on through differences that may come
We will believe there is goodness in everyone
Now we will rise to the challenge of our times
We will not back down – We are Edison
We are the champions of a great and worthy cause
We are the teachers – We are Edison
We are the seekers who find treasures in our flaws
We have discovered – We are Edison
We will not hide these difficult times we face
We will believe there’s hope in the dreams they chase
Love is the call and the challenge to us all
We will not back down – We are Edison
We are young, we are bright
Now we will rise up and challenge the night
We are here, we are now
Seizing this moment – we will not back down
We – are – Edison
Firm on the ground but our focus is the sky
We are the dreamers
We are Edison
We are Edison
