[Verse 1] Friday night, the bar's alive with static hum Screen glows blue, my name's been called, my hands go numb Flip through the book, worn pages, songs I know by heart Friends are shouting "Do it, man!"—this is the hardest part The microphone feels heavy as a loaded gun But something in the opening chords says "run" [Pre-Chorus] Three minutes to be fearless Three minutes to be heard The intro starts, my pulse is racing Here come the words [Chorus] This is karaoke night, where the broken find their voice Where the shy kids shake the rafters and the quiet ones rejoice Sing it wrong, sing it right, doesn't matter anymore We're all superstars under these lights On karaoke night [Verse 2] Second verse, I'm finding it, the rhythm in my chest Strangers at the corner table singing with the rest The bartender's nodding, someone's holding up a phone For once I'm not invisible, for once I'm not alone The chorus hits, I'm soaring now, no turning back This crowded room's a stadium, this dive bar's center track [Pre-Chorus] Three minutes of pure freedom Three minutes, I'm alive The melody's my armor I've never felt this high [Chorus] This is karaoke night, where the broken find their voice Where the shy kids shake the rafters and the quiet ones rejoice Sing it wrong, sing it right, doesn't matter anymore We're all superstars under these lights On karaoke night [Bridge] And when we hit that final chorus, everybody knows the words A hundred voices rising up, the sweetest sound I've ever heard We're not perfect, we're not polished, but we're here and we're alive In this moment, we're immortal In this moment, we can fly [Chorus] This is karaoke night, where the broken find their voice Where the shy kids shake the rafters and the quiet ones rejoice Sing it wrong, sing it right, doesn't matter anymore We're all superstars under these lights We're all superstars tonight On karaoke night [Outro] The mic goes back, the spell remains Next Friday, I'll be here again On karaoke night
