[Verse 1] The room was small The summer wide A glowing screen A world inside I held my breath When sirens rang You crossed the dark And never changed I thought the years Would wait for me Like frozen pictures On the screen But seasons turned The light moved on One day I woke And youth was gone [Pre-Chorus] Then one bright melody Came dancing through the air I looked into the light And you were still there [Chorus] Still there Running through the light Still young Still reaching for the sky I grew older Lost my way You kept racing Toward another day Still there Shining on the screen Just as kind As you had always been I can’t go back And that’s okay I’ll walk beside you Anyway [Verse 2] The old street feels A little small The playground fence The painted wall The dreams we buried In the sand Ran like water Through my hands But somewhere in The noise of years A simple song Still cuts through fear And for a moment I can see The child who never Left me [Pre-Chorus] One little signal Across the evening air Calls me by my old name And you are still there [Chorus] Still there Running through the light Still young Still reaching for the sky I grew older Lost my way You kept racing Toward another day Still there Shining on the screen Just as kind As you had always been I can’t go back And that’s okay I’ll walk beside you Anyway [Bridge] Maybe growing up means knowing Why a gentle heart can ache Why the ones who keep on smiling Still have promises to save Maybe childhood never leaves us It just learns a quieter way To become the little courage That gets us through the day [Final Chorus] Still there Running through the light Still young But now I know the price Every wound Behind the smile Every long and lonely mile Still there Calling out to me From the place Where I learned to dream I have changed In every way But something in me still remains I can’t go back And that’s okay I’ll carry you Into another day Still there Just beyond the screen Still the hero I believed in And I’ll keep walking While you run Toward the rising sun
