1st Day of Summer

[Verse 1 (Children)]

Today the sky looks bigger than before,Like somebody opened up a secret door.Barefoot running through the sprinkler rain,Making pirate ships from puddles in the lane.

The ice cream truck sounds like a parade,Every cloud's a castle that we somehow made.The whole world feels like it's ours to claim,And every single day feels brand new again.

[Pre-Chorus]

No clocks, no plans,Just scraped-up hands.A thousand adventures waiting in the grass.

[Chorus]

It's the first day of summer,The first day of free.The whole wide world is calling out to me.Fireflies and bicycles,Sunset-colored dreams,Everything is bigger than it seems.

It's the first day of summer,The first page to write.We're chasing golden afternoons till night.And if forever had a feeling,It would feel just like this moment,On the first day of summer.

[Verse 2 (Adults)]

Now the same sun rises over parking lots,Calendar reminders and forgotten thoughts.The pool down the street's still painted blue,But somehow years went by before we noticed it.

We trade lemonade stands for office chairs,Trade catching lightning bugs for catching air.And sometimes while we're stuck in traffic lights,We miss the way the world looked through younger eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]

But every now and then,A warm breeze rolls in,And suddenly we're ten years old again.

[Chorus]

It's the first day of summer,The first day of free.A photograph of who we used to be.Garden hoses, treehouse forts,And backyard movie screens,Everything was brighter than it seemed.

It's the first day of summer,And somewhere deep inside,That little kid still hasn't said goodbye.And forever isn't gone,It's just waiting to be found,On the first day of summer.

[Bridge (Build-Up)]

Maybe growing upWas never meant to meanLetting go of wonder,Or forgetting how to dream.

Maybe all those summersNever really disappeared,They're living in the laughterThat we still carry here.

And when the evening paintsThe sky in gold and blue,The child we used to beComes running back into view.

[Final Chorus (Children & Adults Together)]

It's the first day of summer,And everybody sings.The grown-ups and the kids and everything between.The years may keep on moving,But the heart remembers well,The stories only summertime can tell.

It's the first day of summer,And for a little while,The world slows down enough to make us smile.And the grown-up that I've becomeHolds the child I used to be,Like a memory dancing in the breeze.

[Outro]

The ice cream truck fades down the street,The fireflies begin to blink.And for one perfect evening,The years don't matter anymore.

It's the first day of summer...And it always will be.
