[Intro]
(Solo piano, soft reverb)
Omaha winter… breath in the air…
[Verse 1]
Snow on the sidewalk, boots leave a trail,
Your scarf in my pocket—still smells like December’s tale.
Streetlights flicker like the spark in your eyes,
When you said “skate with me” under Nebraska skies.
I wasn’t ready, but the ice didn’t care—
It held us together, suspended mid-air.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Strings creep in, heartbeat kick)
Every fall was a lesson, every bruise a line—
In the story we carved with each turn, each time…
[Chorus]
We’re the history makers on the frozen river bend,
Turning quiet nights to legends that’ll never end.
With every breath, every spin, every leap we dare—
The world will remember the fire we left there.
(Choir swell:) Ice on the Heartland… we ignite the dark.
History makers—
We’re the spark.
[Verse 2]
You traced figure eights where the cracks used to be,
Said “fear’s just a pattern—break it with me.”
I stumbled, you caught me, hands steady and sure—
Taught me falling’s just flying when the heart is pure.
The rink lights went out, but we glowed from within—
Two souls writing futures where the cold thins.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Full orchestra rising)
Every scar is a stanza, every tear a rhyme—
In the symphony only we can climb…
[Chorus]
We’re the history makers on the frozen river bend,
Turning quiet nights to legends that’ll never end.
With every breath, every spin, every leap we dare—
The world will remember the fire we left there.
(Choir:) Ice on the Heartland… we ignite the dark.
History makers—
We’re the spark.
[Bridge] (Piano + vocal only, then explosive strings)
When the music fades and the crowd disappears,
I’ll still hear your laughter through the echoing years.
We don’t need the medals, the lights, or the fame—
Just the promise we’ll meet where the ice calls our name.
[Final Chorus] (Full choir, key change up, triumphant)
We’re the history makers on the frozen river bend!
Turning broken dreams to stories that ascend!
With every heartbeat, every vow, every truth we share—
The stars will remember the love we declared!
(Choir crescendo:) Ice on the Heartland… we burn through the dark!
History makers—
Forever our mark.
[Outro]
(Piano returns, snow-muffled)
Omaha winter…
(Final whisper:) …we made history tonight.
