Neighbourhood

Down the sidewalk where summers stayed long Endless streets stretched on and on Trading cards, building ramps for bikes Climbing trees, reaching sky-high heights

Snowball fights when the winter came Carving our names in frosty window panes Baseball games in the vacant lot Every swing, every catch gave all we got

Oh, the neighbourhood, where we learned to live Grazed our knees, gave all we could give The sound of laughter, the places we stood I'll never forget my first neighbourhood

We raced to the mall, pockets of change High scores and games, those glory days Saturday mornings, cartoons on repeat Off to the park, the day felt complete

Kickball games beneath the streetlights Mom's voice calling us in at night Our world was small, just a few blocks wide But it held dreams inside

We've found new homes, new streets to roam But those old blocks still feel like home No matter how far, it's still in my blood Forever home, my first neighbourhood
