Meet me where the lights kiss the dark, where shadows dance beneath the spark. Cars lined up under the silver screen glow, our secret getaway. Nobody will know. Popcorn crackles and whispers sing. Projector rolls like a magic spring. Sit close, baby. The stars will compete With the way your eyes turn. The night too sweet.

Speaker 2:

Come to the drive-in theater with me. We'll make memories under the marquee. Feel the rhythm of love. Set us free. Come to the drive-in theater with me. The world can wait outside that gate. It's real. Spin time. How my heart's translate your laughter echoes like a melody. This is the way love's meant to be. Nostalgic tunes hum through the air. You're electric. In the moonlight's glare, every scene fades as I hold your hand In your gaze. I found my promised land. Come to the drive-in theater with me. Make memories under the marquee. Feel the rhythm of love. Set us free. Come to the drive-in theater with me. The world can wait outside that gate. It's real. Spend time. How our hearts translate your laughter echoes like a melody. This is the way love's meant to be.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. In the moonlight's glare, every scene fades. As I hold your hand, in your gaze, I found my promised land.

Speaker 3:

Come to the tribe. The sun wakes up and greets the sky. A golden world where dreams can fly. Each breath we take a chance to love. Every day's a gift from above. Every day's a gift from above. Feel the rhythm of the sacred light. Shine it brighter every night. With every step, we spread the love. Every day's a gift from above. Rain might fall, but it makes us grow. It feeds the seeds we didn't know. Each moment blooms like heaven's dove. Thank you, every night. With every step, we spread the love. Every day's a gift from above. Clap your hands, let the spirit flow. Feel the music. Let your heart glow. Through highs and lows, it's all enough. Every day's a gift from above. Feel the rhythm of the sacred light Shining brighter every night With every step we spread the love. Every day's a gift from above. A melody inside our chest Guides our hopes and never rests. Sing it strong with endless love.

Speaker 2:

Every day's a gift from above, when the sky goes dark, no light to guide, you'll feel His love right by your side. Through the storms, through the raging sea, he's a whispering child. Lean on me. God's got you. Just believe, open your heart and you'll receive. Through every trial, he's always there. His love will carry you everywhere. When doubt tries to steal your grin, his love will carry you everywhere. When doubt tries to steal your grin, remember His strength lives deep within A hand that lifts a heart that heals A peace so pure. No one conceals Feet on the floor. Lift your hands up high, feel the spirit, make your soul fly, clap to the rhythm of his embrace. There's freedom here, in this holy space. God's got you. Just believe, open your heart and you'll receive. Through every trial, he's always there. His love will carry you everywhere. So dance with joy, let your faith ignite. The Lord is with you every single night when you believe. No fear, no shame. He's got you wrapped in His holy name. So dance with joy, let your faith ignite. The Lord is with you every single night when you believe. No fear, no shame. He's got you wrapped in His holy name. So dance with joy. Let your faith ignite. The Lord is with you every single night when you believe. No fear, no shame. He's got you wrapped in His holy name Under the tumbleweed skies, watching the sunlight. Kiss goodbye. With a heart so full, I take a chance and whisper low. May I have this dance. May I have this dance tonight, out here, where stars shine bright, just you and me, our sweet romance holding you close. May I have this dance. The desert breeze, it hums a tune Soft as the glow of the rising moon. Your eyes shine like firelight's glance. I can't resist. May I have this dance. May I have this dance tonight, out here, where stars shine bright, just you and me, our sweet romance holding you close. May I have this dance? Let the sand deep our flow. Oh, two hearts wanting nothing more In your arms. Time slows its stance, forever asking. May I have this dance? Let the sand be our floor. Oh, two hearts wanting nothing more In your arms. Time slows its stance. Forever asking, forever asking. May I have this dance? Let the sand be our floor. Two hearts wanting nothing more In your arms. Time slows its stance Forever.

Speaker 2:

You showed up like a ghost in the rain. Years have passed, but the hurt won't wane. We shared secrets. We swore to keep. Now they haunt the air so deep. Old friend, where did you go? Time took you fast, left me slow, tracing steps. The world forgot. We are now at Upper Session Road, in my chest, a faded tune that I know best. We carved our dreams on weathered stone. Now I'm standing here all alone. The seasons rolled, but you stayed still, a picture framed on my windowsill. The years have weathered my old face, but your smile stayed in that same place. Old friend, where did you go? Time took you fast, left me slow, tracing steps. The world forgot. On these old trails we once walked, I wonder if you ever called my name, whispered low through the autumn flame. If these words ever reach your heart, could they mend where we fell apart. I wonder if you ever called my name, whispered low through the autumn flame. If these words ever reach your heart, could they mend where we fell apart.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to buy a lot of snacks. I'm going to buy a lot of snacks. I'm going to buy a lot of snacks. I'm going to buy a lot of snacks. Still, gates swing wide. I breathe the night. The chains are gone. I see the light, sky painted red like a life unmade. I'm walking free, but left with shade. I'm out, but I'm not home. My body's free, my soul still roams.

Speaker 2:

Every step or road I know Freedom, heavy as this stone. I taste the air, but it's bittersweet. My shadow dances down these streets. Whispers follow like a ghostly hymn. The man I was still locked within. I'm out, but I'm not home. My body's free, my soul still rolls. Every step, a road unknown Freedom, heavy as this stone. The city harms a tune of loss. Time moved on. Now I'm the cost, a stranger where I used to stand, a broken watch watching a ticking light. I'm out, but I'm not home. My body's free, my soul still rolls. Every step, a road unknown Freedom, heavy as this stone. Freedom heavy as this stone.

Speaker 2:

Under the lamppost I caught your glance. A shadow danced in the night's romance. Your smile lit up the wicked street. A fleeting dream that felt so sweet. Oh, baby, let's sway under city light. This moment's magic feels so right, so right. Just you and me. Till the mornings glow.

Speaker 2:

The rhythm of love is all we know. The clock it ticks, but time stands still. Your laughter echoes, it always will. With every step my heart beats fast. A doo-wop dream. My hope will last. Oh baby, let's sway under city life. This moment's magic feels so right, so right. Just you and me. Till the morning's glow. The rhythm of love is all we know. Echoes of footsteps in time. We trace Beneath these stars. We found our place. Your shadow, soft, your voice, is near Every melody I hold so dear. Oh baby, let's sway under city light. This moment's magic feels so right, so right. Just you and me. Till the morning's glow. The rhythm of love is all we know. Thank you, oh baby, love pups in time. We trace Beneath these stars. We found our place. Your shadow, soft, your voice is near Every melody I hold so dear.

Speaker 2:

What's it gonna take for the world to unite when we all talk loud but can't see the light? Perched on a fence where the cracks feel deep, a million voices crying, no one's losing sleep. We build up walls but forget how to climb, caught in a loop, but we're wasting our time. The tenor whispers where words can't tread, a melody soft when the angle once fed. But now, what's it gonna take For hearts to break? Is it the silence or the storms we make Step by step? Can we find the groove? One world, one rhythm. Let the people move. Why do we fold? When the cards get rough? Blame gets heavy. Man, these hands feel tough.

Speaker 2:

Short breaths linger where the sax laments Soulful echoes in the space it's spent. Shadows throw fists, but they never connect. Hollow arguments and no self-respect. A tune drifts slow like a question on this. Are we too far gone or is it time to unmask? And what's it gonna take for hearts to break? Is it the silence or the storms we make Step by step? Can we find the groove? One world, one rhythm. Let the people move. One world, one rhythm. Let the people. What's it gonna take for hearts to break? Is it the silence or the storms we make Step by step. Can't we find the groove? One world, one rhythm. Let the people move.

Speaker 1:

We are now at Upper Session Road. Step by step, can we find the groove? One girl, one rhythm. Never put them in a groove.
