I said remember this moment In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in stands went wild
We were the kings and the queens And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew Our lives would never be the same
You held your head like a hero On a history book page
It was the end of a decade But the start of an age
* Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered
I said remember this feeling I pass the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there On the side-lines wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged Screaming, "This is absurd!"
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves In ripped-up jeans got to rule the world
( * )
Hold on to spinning around Confetti falls to the ground May these memories break our fall
Will you take a moment Promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild Tell them how I hope they shine
