Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The ghetto is full of stars

Watch them shine from afar

On days when it's hard

And always

[Verse 2]

Nana knows how to sing

And soothes us all

From summer to fall

And always

[Verse 3]

Joy

She won't let it go

Oh no

Joy

That she doesn't know

What she doesn't know

[Verse 4]

We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones

We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones

We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones

We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones

We're never alone, no, no, we're never alone

[Verse 5]

The country is full of stars

But they're in a war

Blind in the dark

[Verse 6]

He's hoping to medicate

The painful ache

To change his fate

[Verse 7]

Joy

He won't let it go

Oh no

Joy

That he doesn't know

What he doesn't know

[Verse 8]

We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones

We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones

We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones

We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones

We're never alone, no, no, we're never alone

[Verse 9]

And then I said, uh

Neither angel or a king could break this thing

We gotta get our soul

We need that inner peace, you know, hahaha

Ain't nothin'

Man cannot give you that!

[Verse 10]

1, 2, ready and

We are never alone

We are never, never alone

We are never alone

[Verse 11]

We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones (We're never alone, no, no)

We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones (We're never alone, no, no)

We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones (We're never alone, no, no)

We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones (We're never alone, no, no)
