Stronger Than We Knew

Life hit hard but we hit back

Boots on gravel, wheels on track

Dust was rising in the afternoon

Heartbeats thumping like a kick-drum tune

We didn't ask for an easy ride

We learned to stand when the world denied

Every bruise became a spark

Lighting up the darkest part

BMX gang through the neighbourhood

Riding faster than anyone could

Chrome frames shining like a neon streak

Tuff wheels screaming down Bay Road's peak

Door-to-door like a moving storm

Fear had no chance to take its form

We were loud, we were brave, we were breaking through —

Chasing the rush like we always knew

And I still feel it, racing through my veins —

Those kid-made rules, those backyard gains

We were stronger than we knew

Running wild with a fearless view

We were fire in the summer heat

Barefoot rebels on suburban streets

We were stronger, yeah it's true —

Stronger than we ever knew

Late nights falling under streetlight glow

Secrets whispered soft and low

Talking big dreams on a kerbside bend

Thinking every heartbreak had a perfect end

Music blasting from a passing car —

Made us feel ten feet tall, like we were stars

Nothing could stop us, nothing got through

We were electric — me and you

And when the world tried to cut us down

We hit back harder, stood our ground

We were stronger than we knew

Running wild with a fearless view

We were fire in the summer heat

Barefoot rebels on suburban streets

We were stronger, yeah it's true —

Stronger than we ever knew

Looking back with wiser eyes

I see the truth behind the lies

Strength was born in those simple days

In every ride, in every phase

Bayside winds still call my name —

I feel that spark, I feel that flame

We were stronger than we knew

Every scraped knee pulled us through

We were thunder on two chrome wheels

Chasing down the way life feels

We were stronger, and we survived —

Every night that we cried

Yeah we were stronger —

Stronger than we knew

Oh-oh, stronger

We were stronger

Oh-oh, stronger

More than we ever knew
