We started out small with just a dream and steady hands
No eyes on us but we still moved ahead
We stayed in our own lane
Held our own though none would dare
We came up from nothing
Now, we're here

Started out in the dark but built a flame
Held onto hope when no one knew our name
Took every step with no one else around
But we kept on building even under ground

They count us out too soon
But we were building slow
We came up through the dark
Now, everybody knows

We kept it on the low
They thought we wouldn't grow
We moved without a sound
Everyone watches now

We're sleepers, sleepers, sleepers

We held through the pressure
Never let it interfere
No one there to guide us
Still found our way

They watch from the sidelines
Said we'd never make it here
We built this from nothing
Now, they cheer

Started out in the dark but built a flame
Held onto hope when no one knew our name
Took every step with no one else around
But we kept on building even under ground

They count us out too soon
But we were building slow
We came up through the dark
Now, everybody knows

We kept it on the low
They thought we wouldn't grow
We moved without a sound
Everyone watches now

We're sleepers, sleepers, sleepers

From the ground up
You know we built something strong
That was made to last forever
In the background
Baby, we built something strong
They can't stop us now

They count us out too soon
But we were building slow
We came up through the dark
Now, everybody knows

We kept it on the low
They thought we wouldn't grow
We moved without a sound
Everyone watches now

We're sleepers, sleepers, sleepers
