Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] The streets are narrow but feel so wide Memories linger as I take the ride That corner store now sells something new But the sky’s the same shade of blue [Verse 2] Echoes of laughter from faded walls The kids are grown no one plays in the halls Old man Joe's bench is empty at last Time’s got a way of walking too fast [Chorus] Back to the pavement where my feet used to dance Every crack in the concrete tells of a chance Of people who stayed and people who fled Home is alive though some parts are dead [Verse 3] The house I grew up in is painted gray The fence is gone but the tree still sways A new family lives in what once was mine A bittersweet pang says I'll be fine [Chorus] Back to the pavement where my feet used to dance Every crack in the concrete tells of a chance Of people who stayed and people who fled Home is alive though some parts are dead [Bridge] Faces I know and strangers I don’t Some tried to make it and some swore they won’t But every brick holds a story untold These scars on my town are worth more than gold
