Lyrics:
The Spirit of Eight
(Verse 1)
I fell in love when I was just a kid,
Barely knew what love even is.
Chocolate stains on my freckled face,
Dreams as big as outer space.
I couldn’t tie my shoes, but I could dream,
Life was endless, or so it seemed.
The world was ours, a story untold,
With hearts so young, so brave, so bold.
(Chorus)
Maybe it was nothing, or maybe it was all,
The rise before the greatest fall.
That spirit of eight still runs through me,
Carrying hope to eternity.
(Verse 2)
What was I thinking, so young, so small,
Believing in a love that could have it all?
The days were short, but the summers long,
Every laugh felt like a song.
Now I know, it wasn’t meant to stay,
But it shaped the heart I have today.
A fleeting moment, a childhood glow,
But its warmth still follows wherever I go.
(Chorus)
Maybe it was nothing, or maybe it was all,
The rise before the greatest fall.
That spirit of eight still runs through me,
Carrying hope to eternity.
(Bridge)
It wasn’t about forever, it was about the now,
The magic of believing, without knowing how.
A love so pure, untouched by time,
A secret I’ll keep, a mountain I’ll climb.
(Outro)
I’m older now, with scuffed-up shoes,
A heart that’s lived, a soul with clues.
But that spirit of eight, it never fades,
It’s the part of me that always stays.
(Tag)
Maybe it couldn’t, maybe it wouldn’t,
But I’m so glad that it once could.
That spirit of eight still sets me free,
Carrying me to eternity.
