[Intro]
Whispers in the corridor, ticking like a clock we knew
locker doors sigh soft goodbyes as sunlight spills on you
[Verse 1]
Under bleachers we found oxygen and laughter on a dare
Dreams sketched in chalk on faded steps, we swore we’d always care
Now the hallways hum with quiet pride, a chorus of the past
We hold those golden minutes close, though they’ve slipped by so fast
[Pre-Chorus]
If I close my eyes, I hear the drums of a younger day
We chased a sky that looked like ours, in summer’s blush and gray
[Chorus]
These echoes glow, like a firefly in June
Bright with every vow we made beneath the moon
We wear the colors of our youth, brave and true
And learn that home can travel far with me and you
[Verse 2]
We mapped our futures on the bleachers’ seam, a secret plan
Shared whispers stitched into the wind, we were a marching clan
Now the stands stand still, yet every cheer is ringing loud
In distant streets we hear the crowd, and lift our heads unbowed
[Pre-Chorus]
If I close my eyes, I hear the drums of a younger day
We chased a sky that looked like ours, in summer’s blush and gray
[Chorus]
These echoes glow, like a firefly in June
Bright with every vow we made beneath the moon
We wear the colors of our youth, brave and true
And learn that home can travel far with me and you
[Bridge]
Some days feel closer than they should, like yesterday’s perfume
We cradle photographs and promises, let tears taste like bloom
[Chorus]
These echoes glow, like a firefly in June
Bright with every vow we made beneath the moon
We wear the colors of our youth, brave and true
And learn that home can travel far with me and you
[Outro]
So here’s to all the days that flew, yet never disappear
The brave, the bright, the friendships brightened every year
We carry them like stars we steer by, through every distance and time
Alma mater, in our hearts you sign the sweetest rhyme
