Power Up!

Remember when they called us nerds?
Basement dwellers, eyes bloodshot and blurred
With our controllers, glued to the screen
Building empires, a pixelated dream

NES and Super, Genesis controller in hand
Exploring all the levels in a pixelated land
Super Mario's leaps, Kirby's floating dream
Street Fighter battles, a competitive scheme

Power up! The world's at your command
Live your dream in a digital wonderland
Through fantastical journeys, adventures untold
Video games unite us, young and old

3D worlds bloomed, polygons took flight
N64 rumble, PlayStation's guiding light
Crash Bandicoot's wackiness, Mario's 64-bit leap
GoldenEye battles, secrets players keep

The landscape shifted, new faces in the game
Sony and Microsoft, joining the fame
Sega's glory faded, a bittersweet sting
But the fire still burns, for the joy these games bring

Power up! The world's at your command
Live your dream in a digital wonderland
Through fantastical journeys, adventures untold
Video games unite us, young and old

Now GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2
Online gaming's dawn, now I can join you
Grand Theft Auto, Halo, and Super Smash
Building the landscape and your gaming stash

PlayStation 3, 4, and 5, the graphics ignite
Xbox 360, One, and Series X, racing through the night
Wii, Wii U, and the Switch takes flight
Gaming on the go, a portable delight

Power up! The world's at your command
Live your dream in a digital wonderland
Through fantastical journeys, adventures untold
Video games unite us, young and old

Game Boys, DS, 3DS, and PSP were your traveling friends
Video games arriving all the time, the adventure never ends
