(Verse 1)
Under bamboo shadows, in the midday heat,
Uniforms wrinkled, dust on our feet.
Laughing with brothers, no worries inside,
We’re sipping on life with the world open wide.
Phones in our hands but hearts still free,
Talking ‘bout the future and who we’ll be.
Our names in chalk, our goals in flame,
One day they’ll all remember our name.
(Chorus)
This is where our story begins,
With dirty shoes and fearless grins.
Sitting on this bench, dreams running deep,
Promises to make, and hopes to keep.
We’re just boys with schoolyard dreams,
Building empires from little streams.
One day the world will see our beams,
Born right here in schoolyard dreams.
(Verse 2)
Brotherhood stronger than bamboo trees,
Secrets we share with the midday breeze.
Hearts full of colours like those above,
Red for courage, green for love.
Blue for wisdom we’re yet to find,
But for now, it’s peace of mind.
Lunch breaks pass with silent prayers,
For better days beyond these chairs.
(Chorus)
This is where our story begins,
With dirty shoes and fearless grins.
Sitting on this bench, dreams running deep,
Promises to make, and hopes to keep.
We’re just boys with schoolyard dreams,
Building empires from little streams.
One day the world will see our beams,
Born right here in schoolyard dreams.
(Bridge)
Years will pass like this afternoon sun,
But memories remain when school days are done.
We’ll chase these dreams till the day we’re old,
From dusty grounds to streets of gold.
(Final Chorus)
This is where our story begins,
With dirty shoes and fearless grins.
Sitting on this bench, dreams running deep,
Promises to make, and hopes to keep.
We’re just boys with schoolyard dreams,
Building empires from little streams.
One day the world will see our beams,
Born right here in schoolyard dreams.
