In the shadows of the smokestacks
Where the steel meets the sky
I feel the weight of their whispers
Telling me I can't fly

Fear keeps me chained in this city
Where dreams go to rust and die
But deep inside, a fire's burning
And I know it's time to rise

I won't be held down
Not in this industrial town!
I'm breaking the chains
I'm taking my name!
I'm standing my ground
No longer bound!

They build walls of concrete and judgement
Try to keep our voices small
But I hear the call of freedom
And I ain't afraid to fall

With every step, my heart is pounding
Defiance in my veins
I'll scream louder than the factories
It's time to set the world ablaze!

I won't be held down
Not in this industrial town!
I'm breaking the chains
I'm taking my name!
I'm standing my ground
No longer bound!

Fear is just a fleeting shadow
And hope's a roaring flame
I'll rise like the Sun in the morning
I'll never be the same!

Through the smoke and the darkness
I'll forge my own way
With the spirit of the restless
I'll chase the night away!

I'm breaking the chains
I'm taking my name!
I'm standing my ground
No longer bound!

So hear me now, hear me loud
I'm done with silence, I'm proud!
I won't be held down
Not in this industrial town!

I'm breaking the chains
I'm taking my name!
I'm standing my ground
No longer bound!

I won't be held down
I won't be held down!
