[Verse 1]
After the fire, after the roar,
I walked through the ash and the broken door.
The Brotherhood fell at the edge of the road,
Their steel in the mud where the cold wind blew.
The Institute hid in a deep white room,
I took their bright lie and I closed that tomb.
Now the farms can breathe, now the springs run clean,
And the brahmin move slow through the buckled green.
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard the town say, "What comes now?"
I said, "Build it back, one nail, one plow."
No more kings from the old-world dust,
Just a hard-earned land and a reason to trust.
[Chorus]
I am the President of the Commonwealth
(President of the Commonwealth)
I’ll raise it high with my own two hands
(President of the Commonwealth)
From the ruins we stand, from the ruins we stand
I’ll make a new country out of this land
[Verse 2]
There’s a flag on a pole by the riverbank,
Sewn from rags and hope and a soldier’s rank.
Kids at the gate with their boots half-tied,
Learning how to read by the firelight.
I don’t want praise from a gilded chair,
I want rain on roofs and a fair share.
I want roads so straight and a name that stays,
And a place where the dead don’t rule the days.
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard the town say, "What comes now?"
I said, "Build it back, one nail, one plow."
No more kings from the old-world dust,
Just a hard-earned land and a reason to trust.
[Chorus]
I am the President of the Commonwealth
(President of the Commonwealth)
I’ll raise it high with my own two hands
(President of the Commonwealth)
From the ruins we stand, from the ruins we stand
I’ll make a new country out of this land
[Bridge]
Let the old names fade in the smoke,
Let the new ones rise with the oath I spoke.
If the dark comes back, then it better come fast,
We already learned how to make peace last.
[Final Chorus]
I am the President of the Commonwealth
(President of the Commonwealth)
I’ll raise it high with my own two hands
(President of the Commonwealth)
From the ruins we stand, from the ruins we stand
I’ll make a new country out of this land
(President of the Commonwealth)
From the ruins we stand, from the ruins we stand
I’ll make a new country out of this land

Styl muzyki
Heroic country with melodic lift, mid-tempo stomp-clap groove and driving acoustic guitar, fiddle lines, steel-guitar swells, and a steady kick that opens into a bigger chorus; verse stays dust-dry and narrative, pre-chorus rises with handclaps and stacked harmony, chorus lands wide with gang vocals and a strong sing-back hook; lead vocal is close-mic and rough-edged in verses, double-tracked and soaring on hooks, with short delay throws on key words; ear candy includes radio crackle, reversed swells into the chorus, and a final lifted guitar tag; bright, cinematic, and hard-earned, country
