[Pre-Chorus - melancholic, emotional starting]
No fear, no chains, just open skies,
We lived the truth with shining eyes.
No endless screens to steal the time,
Life was golden, life was mine.
[Verse 1]
Running wild ‘til the day was gone,
Chasing dreams with the setting sun.
Hide and seek in the summer air,
Every heartbeat was free from care.
Arcades glowing, 8-bit fire,
Mario worlds that would never tire.
Outside laughter filled the night,
Everything simple, everything right.

[Pre-Chorus]
No fear, no chains, just open skies,
We lived the truth with shining eyes.
No endless screens to steal the time,
Life was golden, life was mine.

[Chorus – Episch, Hymnisch]
Take me back when the streetlights came on,
When we played outside ‘til the day was gone.
No worries, no weight, just freedom to roam,
The world was safe, and we called it home.
Take me back where the nights were long,
Where laughter lived and our hearts were strong.
Forever young, forever free,
That golden time still lives in me!
---
[Verse 2]
Meeting friends at the corner store,
No one asked for anything more.
Bikes were racing down the lane,
Every moment a sweet refrain.
No smartphones ringing, no endless noise,
Just cassette tapes and simple joys.
Parents knew we were safe outside,
Love was strong and the world was wide.

[Bridge – Emotionaler Höhepunkt]
We had no fear, we had no walls,
The world was brighter in those halls.
From pixel games to setting suns,
The best of life had just begun.
---
[Chorus – Noch größer]
Take me back when the streetlights came on,
When we played outside ‘til the day was gone.
No worries, no weight, just freedom to roam,
The world was safe, and we called it home.
Take me back where the nights were long,
Where laughter lived and our hearts were strong.
Forever young, forever free,
That golden time still lives in me!
---
[Outro – Cinematisch, bittersüß]
Now the world runs fast, and the joy feels small,
But I remember, I recall...
The time we lived without the fear,
The golden 80s still echo here.
