[Verse 1] Bare feet, bikes, mango trees Trade winds, docks, and Panama breeze Ships rolled by, we chased the sun Every street, someone we’d know [Pre-Chorus] Summer had to end… But our friendships never did! [Chorus] Zone kids! Hey! Growing up in the sun Different homes, one big crew Panamá lives in me and you The Zone may be gone, But we carry it on— Zone kids! Still friends for life! [Verse 2] Mamas, dads, and teachers too Neighbors, coaches, friends who came through They cheered us on and watched us grow Gave us more than they could know [Pre-Chorus] The Canal Zone had to end… But the love we made never did! [Chorus] Zone kids! Hey! Growing up in the sun Different homes, one big crew Panamá lives in me and you The Zone may be gone, But we carry it on— Zone kids! Still friends for life! [Bridge] Years go by, miles apart Say “Remember?”—there we are! Same old stories, same old spark Hey! Those days are in our hearts! [[Final Chorus] Zone kids! Hey! Still carrying the sun Summer ended, the Zone did too But the love still pulls us through The place may change, The years may fly— Panamá stays in our hearts! [Outro] Oh-oh! Panamá! Old friends, one song We grew up as Zone kids— And that bond stays strong!
