Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] The old oak tree still casts its shade Rusty swings on the park still played The gravel crunch beneath my boots But the streetlights now wear brand-new suits [Verse 2] The diner serves the same old pie But faces change as years roll by Main Street's got a modern shine But that old clock tower still tells the time [Chorus] I’m back to where I began A stranger now in a hometown land Familiar ghosts They all wave hello But some I knew I’ve let them go [Verse 3] The schoolyard echoes kids' parade But the chalkboards here have now been replaced The corner store now boasts a café Few things endure Most fade away [Bridge] The hills still hum that tune I know While the river whispers soft and slow Yet my heart feels lost but found In this ever-changing old hometown [Chorus] I’m back to where I began A stranger now in a hometown land Familiar ghosts They all wave hello But some I knew I’ve let them go
