Lyrics

HOOK
Shout out to all the ones who came before
You showed the way
You opened up the door
Now we stand among legends
And shout your names
Your light will never fade away
Shout out to all the ones who came before
You showed the way
You opened up the door
Now we stand among legends
And shout your names
The world will never be the same

V1
You started at the bottom
And you worked your way
You showed em you were awesome
And you won the day
Striving for the top spot
No room for mistakes
Yeah…
You showed us the way

Ya showed us how to - train up
How to pass the test
How to make your mark
Be the very best
And when the lights are up
And the pressures on
How to push and push
Til you're the only one
Making friends all along the way
Memories always here to stay
Yeah
That's why we say….

HOOK
Shout out to all the ones who came before
You showed the way
You opened up the door
Now we stand among legends
And shout your names
Your light will never fade away
Shout out to all the ones who came before
You showed the way
You opened up the door
Now we stand among legends
And shout your names
The world will never be the same

V2
Now we have our champions
They've joined the best
To every single trainer
We give our respect
Now we have a story
We passed the test
Yeah…
We've become legends

We learned how to train up
How to break the mold
How to build our team
How to win the gold
And when the lights are up
And the pressures on
How to push and push
Til you're the only one
Finally showed the world today
Legends are always here to stay
Yeah
That's why we say….

HOOK
Shout out to all the ones who came before
You showed the way
You opened up the door
Now we stand among legends
And shout your names
Your light will never fade away
Shout out to all the ones who came before
You showed the way
You opened up the door
Now we stand among legends
And shout your names
The world will never be the same
Never be the same!
Never be the same…
So here's to you
Here's to you
Oh…
The Ones who came before
You had your day…
So here's to you
Here's to you
(You)
The ones who came before
