The song

“Legends Stay”

We were just sparks in a burning sky
Read the lyrics

We were just sparks in a burning sky
Names on the screen learning how to fight
From District dust to the Capitol lights
We were young we were fire we were alive

Time kept turning seasons changed
Faces older but the flame remains
Through the ashes through the pain
We still remember every name

Oh-oh we were the hunger we were the flame
Running through history calling our names
From the arena to who we are now
Still standing tall still taking a bow
Oh-oh we were the story they can't erase
Years may pass but we hold our place
Forever the fire forever the brave
The games may end — but legends stay
