We’ve been running up against the crowd
Yeah, we're the Dark Horses

Wait! It’s not over now

Yeah, we're the Dark Horses
We’re singing

Born for the sunrise

[Final Chorus]
We’re singing
Hey, You can’t count us out
We’ve been running up against the crowd
Yeah, we're the Dark Horses
We’re singing
We don’t care what they say
We know we’ll find a way
Yeah, we're the Dark Horses
La la-la-la-la-la-la
La la-la-la-la-la-la
[Outro - spoken]
Keep running with the dark horses
Hope makes the blood change courses
Keep running with the dark horses
Stand up for the dark horses
Keep running with the dark horses
Hope makes the blood change courses
Keep running with the dark horses
