Now the backyard's getting bigger
In the middle is a river
And everything is flowing seperate ways
Some are building lakes, while others are still at stake
Still no one can forget the yesterdays
When life was hard, we dealt our cards
In everyone's backyard
In the backyard
I can see their eyes lighting up the night
Their arms are pushing me out of sight
On that ol' swing still hanging from a tree
Mom and Dad are still behind me
As far I can see
Forever pushing me
In the backyard
We learned how to fight for who we are
Threw sticks and stones, dreamed of breaking bones
But we only hit the car
We got, we never fought, and our dreams were never barred
Here we are, we've come so far
Back in the backyard
In the backyard
I can see their eyes lighting up the night
Their arms are pushing me out of sight
On that ol' swing still hanging from a tree
Mom and Dad are still behind me
As far I can see
Forever pushing me
Mom and Dad are still behind me
As far as I can see
Forever pushing me
