The afterglow

Intro

Summer hums in the afterglow,

Sidewalk chalk, moving slow,

Hear the city breathe and call,

First kick of a faded ball.

Verse 1

Rolling down the summer street,

With a green light glow and a wild free beat,

We’re chasing every dream we call,

Like kids in the park with a worn-out ball.

Laughing loud, no rise or fall,

Every moment feels ten feet tall,

Painted hopes on a brick wall,

Life keeps spinning—just pass the ball.

Pre-Chorus

We don’t know where tomorrow goes,

But tonight’s enough, and heaven knows,

Hands are scraped but hearts enthralled,

Still in the game—don’t drop the ball.

Chorus

So pass the ball, let the world roll on,

Under green night skies till the fear is gone,

If we trip, we rise, we stand up tall,

We’re alive, we’re here—just pass the ball.

Hear the crowd we never saw,

Every cheer from every flaw,

This is us, no curtain call,

Keep the dream alive—just pass the ball.

Verse 2

Under open skies, the night turns green,

Fireflies glow like a silver screen,

We swear this moment means it all,

Barefoot faith and a spinning ball.

Time slows down but our hearts don’t stall,

Every win counts, even every fall,

If the world gets heavy, cracked, or small,

We’ll keep the game alive—just pass the ball.

Pre-Chorus

The future hums but won’t stand still,

Every step a test of will,

Grip it tight through rise and fall,

Don’t let the doubt steal the ball.

Chorus

So pass the ball, let the world roll on,

Under green night skies till the fear is gone,

If we trip, we rise, we stand up tall,

We’re alive, we’re here—just pass the ball.

Hear the crowd we never saw,

Every cheer from every flaw,

This is us, no curtain call,

Keep the dream alive—just pass the ball.

Bridge

One day we’ll look back, older, slow,

At scraped-up knees and that afterglow,

We’ll smile at how we gave our all,

Chasing youth like a runaway ball.

If the lights go out, if the field turns small,

If the silence answers when we call,

Remember this—through it all,

You were never alone with the ball.

Final Chorus

So pass the ball, don’t hold the past,

Every moment moves too fast,

Paint the dark in shades of green,

Brighter than we’ve ever seen.

Win or lose, we stand up tall,

Every heart hears the same call,

This is life—no final wall,

Keep it moving—just pass the ball.

Outro

Summer fades but the echoes stay,

In every laugh that drifts our way,

If you forget, just hear it call,

Keep the love alive—just pass the ball.
