Verse 1 Little shoes on the front porch drying Grass stains on my knees from the day Laughing loud as the sun keeps shining Nothing in the world in my way Pre‑Chorus Every corner of the yard felt endless Every moment felt like it could stay Chorus I was running through the golden hours Chasing light like it was calling my name Every heartbeat felt like summer flowers Growing wild before the storm ever came Verse 2 Mama’s voice from the screen door singing Dinner on the stove, windows wide Toy cars racing on the floor, spinning Dreams too big for a boy my size Pre‑Chorus Every night I fell asleep so weightless Wrapped in a world that felt so safe Chorus I was running through the golden hours Chasing light like it was calling my name Every heartbeat felt like summer flowers Growing wild before the storm ever came Bridge And I didn’t know the sky could darken Didn’t know how fast things change All I knew was the sound of laughter Echoing through brighter days Final Chorus I was running through the golden hours Chasing light like it was calling my name Holding tight to the early power Of a world untouched by rain
