[Verse 1]
Standing in line, another number to define
Papers in hand, they scan me one more time
My father's hands were rough from working steel
Now I'm just data they process and seal
[Pre-Chorus]
These fluorescent lights burn through my soul
As I watch my story turn to protocols
Been waiting here since dawn began to break
Just another file for them to validate
[Chorus]
We are more than paper lines
More than stamps that mark our time
Can't reduce our lives to codes
Through these gates, our spirits flow
(We rise, we rise, we rise)
Above these paper lines
[Verse 2]
From Eastern blocks to Western dreams
Lost in translation, nothing's what it seems
They type my name, but they don't know my face
Just another case, another empty space
[Bridge]
System processing
Hearts are burning
Hands are shaking
World keeps turning
Can't deny us
Can't define us
Watch us break free
From these paper lines
[Chorus]
We are more than paper lines
More than stamps that mark our time
Can't reduce our lives to codes
Through these gates, our spirits flow
(We rise, we rise, we rise)
Above these paper lines
[Outro]
(Let us rise, let us rise)
Beyond your paper lines
(We will rise, we will rise)
Above these paper lines
