[Intro] [Verse 1] We found the old red bicycle Behind your grandfather’s shed Two crooked wheels, one missing bell And summer in our heads You pushed me down the gravel lane I learned to lose the fear By sunset we were racing home With thunder in our ears [Pre-Chorus] Every bruise became a story Every mile a place to start We were young enough to trust the morning Brave enough to give it heart [Chorus] Raise your hands for the days that made us For the names we still recall For the kitchen table, crowded chairs And the laughter through the hall Though the years keep turning pages Those bright moments still remain I carry every golden memory Like a fire beneath the rain [Verse 2] The train pulled out at half past six You waved beside the track A paper cup, a borrowed coat And promises to come back Then winter filled the window glass We talked until the dawn By spring, the road between our towns Was something we could cross [Pre-Chorus] Every goodbye became a doorway Every loss revealed a thread All the hands that held us steady Still are reaching where we’re headed [Chorus] Raise your hands for the days that made us For the names we still recall For the kitchen table, crowded chairs And the laughter through the hall Though the years keep turning pages Those bright moments still remain I carry every golden memory Like a fire beneath the rain [Instrumental] [Bridge] If I could stand inside that photograph I’d tell them not to hurry home The world is wide, the night is short But no one has to walk alone The smallest lights we gave each other Outlast every distant sun And every road we feared to follow Led us back to where we’re from [Breakdown] Remember the hands Remember the names Remember the rooms Where nothing had changed Remember the first Remember the fall Remember the voices That carried us all [Final Chorus] Raise your hands for the days that made us For the names we still recall For the kitchen table, crowded chairs And the laughter through the hall Though the years keep turning pages Those bright moments still remain We carry every golden memory Like a fire beneath the rain Raise your hands, let the whole world hear it Let the old days breathe again What we loved is not behind us It is living in our friends When the final road is calling We will meet it unafraid With every golden memory Burning brighter than the day [Outro] Burning brighter than the day Still together on the way
