To the ones who still run free

🎵 To the Ones Who Still Run Free 🎵

(Adult to the younger generation)

Run while your feet still know the ground,

Chase every dream that can’t be found.

The world is yours, go make it loud,

You’ve got the stars behind the clouds.

But hear me now, and hear me true,

The days fly fast when they leave you.

The swing will stop, the skies will dim,

And childhood fades like a distant hymn.

So laugh too loud, and climb too high,

Fall down once more, then touch the sky.

Hold your people while you can,

Time runs quicker than we plan.

You won’t know it was the last—

So make it count before it’s past.

I once was you, full of fire and sun,

Thinking the game would never be done.

But now I write from memory’s side,

A grown-up heart where dreams still hide.

So laugh too loud, and climb too high,

Fall down once more, then touch the sky.

Hold your people while you can,

Time runs quicker than we plan.

You won’t know it was the last—

So make it count before it’s past.

And if you pause, just for a while,

Remember youth is more than style.

It’s how you love, it’s how you see—

So keep that fire and run for me.

Laugh too loud, and climb too high,

Leave your name across the sky.

Live like every breath is free—

You’re the light we used to be.

You won’t know it was the last—

So make it count before it’s past
