Can't Get a School in Brooklyn


[Verse 1]

We build a dream in bricks and mortar
We raise our hopes a little further
They tear it down like it's a toy
Resilience is our secret ploy

[Verse 2]

A thousand hands lift up the rubble
We fight through every bit of trouble
Roads get paved then ripped apart
But giving up ain't in our heart

[Chorus]

Can't get a school in Brooklyn now
But we'll rebuild it anyhow
Every setback fuels our fire
Our spirit rising higher higher

[Verse 3]

We stitch the wounds with threads of hope
In this city where we cope
They destroy but we create
Our resolve will never break

[Bridge]

From the ashes we arise
Piercing through the darkest skies
Brooklyn stands with heart and grit
No stopping now we won't submit

[Chorus]

Can't get a school in Brooklyn now
But we'll rebuild it anyhow
Every setback fuels our fire
Our spirit rising higher higher

[Chorus]

Can't get a school in Brooklyn now
But we'll rebuild it anyhow
Every setback fuels our fire
Our spirit rising higher higher
Higher
