Chapter Text
I stood there in the glow
Under trophies and framed gold
Boots too loud on the floor
Heart beating out old roads
Names carved into the wall
Some gone, some here tonight
I felt small, then I felt tall
In that old familiar light
And I swear I heard them breathe
From the back row seats
Every scar, every smile
Walking up to meet me
In the hall of fame
I was just a kid again
In the hall of fame
Standing where the heroes stand
Past and present in one room
(Hallelujah, look at you)
In the hall of fame
I found my place with you
One hand in the air
One eye full of tears
I remembered every fall
Every lonely year
The giants I grew up on
The ones I watched on screens
They look like family now
Like they have been waiting for me
And I swear I heard them say
Keep that fire bright
You don't have to be a legend
To honor a life
In the hall of fame
I was just a kid again
In the hall of fame
Standing where the heroes stand
Past and present in same room
(hallelujah, look at you)
In the hall of fame
I found my place with you
No crown, no perfect past
Just a heart that came through
With every broken road
I carried them here with you
If I ever leave this place
Let the memory stay
That I shook their hands
And they knew my name
In the hall of fame
I was just a kid again
In the hall of fame
Standing where the heroes stand
Past and present in the same room
(Hallelujah, look at you)
I found my place with you
In the hall of fame
We were more than what we made
In the hall of fame
Love outlasts the fame
(Hallelujah, look at you)
In the hall of fame
I'll be grateful always
