Lyrics
Verse 1
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here; everyone's here.
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next, what happens next?
Hook 1
I dare you to move; I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move;
I dare you to move like today never happened,
today never happened before
Verse 2
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here, tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
Hook 2
I dare you to move, I dare you to move, I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move; I dare you to move
Like today never happened, today never happened
Bridge
Maybe redemption has stories to tell; maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.
Where can you run to escape from yourself; where you gonna go? Where you gonna go, salvation is here.
(Electric guitar break)
Hook 3
I dare you to move, I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move, I dare you to move
Like today never happened, today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Meaning & Inspiration
This rock song speaks to someone stuck in place, using a repeated challenge to get up and move. The opening verse greets a person arriving in the world, with "Everybody's watching" and "Everybody waits" creating a sense of expectation about what comes next.
The second verse names the central struggle as "the tension" "Between who you are and who you could be." The hook answers it with the dare to "lift yourself up off the floor" and to live "like today never happened," a picture of leaving past failure behind.
The bridge is where the song points to faith. It suggests that "redemption has stories to tell" and that "forgiveness is right where you fell," ending with "salvation is here." Those lines connect the call to action with the Christian idea that forgiveness meets a person at the point of failure, and the song can be heard as an invitation to respond to that offer rather than stay on the ground.
