[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I say remember
this moment i
n the back of
my mind
The time we st
ood with our s
haking hands
The crowds in
stands went wi
ld
We were the ki
ngs and the qu
eens
And they read
off our names
The night you
danced like yo
u knew our liv
es
Would never be
the same
You held your
head like a he
ro on a histor
y book page
It was the end
of a decade b
ut the start o
f an age
[Chorus]
Long live the
walls we crash
ed through
How the kingdo
m lights shine
d just for me
and you
I was screamin
g, "long live
all the magic
we made"
And bring on a
ll the pretend
ers
One day, we wi
ll be remember
ed
[Verse 2]
I said remembe
r this feeling
, I passed the
pictures arou
nd
Of all the yea
rs that we sto
od there on th
e sidelines
Wishing for ri
ght now
We are the kin
gs and the que
ens, you trade
d your basebal
l cap for a cr
own
When they gave
us our trophi
es and we held
them up for o
ur town
And the cynics
were outraged
, screaming, "
this is absurd
!"
'Cause for a m
oment a band o
f thieves
In ripped up j
eans got to ru
le the world
[Chorus]
Long live the
walls we crash
ed through
How the kingdo
m lights shine
d just for me
and you
I was screamin
g, "long live
all the magic
we made"
And bring on a
ll the pretend
ers, I'm not a
fraid
Long live all
the mountains
we moved
I had the time
of my life
Fighting drago
ns with you
I was screamin
g, "long live
that look on y
our face"
And bring on a
ll the pretend
ers
One day, we wi
ll be remember
ed
[Bridge]
Hold on to spi
nning around
Confetti falls
to the ground
May these memo
ries break our
fall
[Verse 3]
Can you take a
moment?
Promise me thi
s:
That you'll st
and by me fore
ver
But if, God fo
rbid, fate sho
uld step in
And force us i
nto a goodbye
If you have ch
ildren someday
When they poin
t to the pictu
res
Please tell th
em my name
Tell them how
the crowds wen
t wild
Tell them how
I hope they sh
ine
[Chorus]
Long live the
walls we crash
ed through
I had the time
of my life wi
th you
Long, long liv
e the walls we
crashed throu
gh
How the kingdo
m lights shine
d just for me
and you
I was screamin
g, "long live
all the magic
we made"
And bring on a
ll the pretend
ers, I'm not a
fraid
Singing long l
ive all the mo
untains we mov
ed
I had the time
of my life
Fighting drago
ns with you
Long, long liv
e that look on
your face
And bring on a
ll the pretend
ers
One day .....
we will be rem
embered
