[Verse 1]
A child, you would wait
And watch from far away
You always knew you'd be the one
To work while they all play
In youth, you'd wait
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change
But it was just a dream

[Chorus]
Here we are, don't turn away, no
(Don't turn away)
We are the warriors who built this town
Here we are, don't turn away, no
(Don't turn away)
We are the warriors who built this town

[Verse]
The time will come when you'll have to rise
Above the past and prove yourself
Your spirit live or dies
Farewell, I've gone, to take my throne above
Don't weep for me, 'cause this will be
A labor of my love
[Chorus]
Here we are, don't turn away, no
(Don't turn away)
We are the warriors who built this town
Here we are, don't turn away, no
We are the warriors who built this town

[Chorus]
Here we are, don't turn away, no
We are the warriors who built this town
Here we are, don't turn away, no
We are the warriors who built this town
