Verse 1
Morning in Decatur, tiny hand in Tom’s
Danette’s lullabies, gentle and calm
Loved in those arms, wrapped up so tight
First moments golden, newness and light
Pre-Chorus
Drifting through changes, each city a scene
Learning to shine, where you’ve ever been
Chorus
Maddie, piccolo shining through
Golden curls in the summer blue
From Decatur dreams to marching on
Bulldog pride and a heart so strong
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, Maddie, play on
Oh, play on, play on
Verse 2
Seventeen candles, hopes in her eyes
Lifting the melody under Indiana skies
Grandpa and Grandma, love at the start
Cradled a wonder, pure in heart
Pre-Chorus
Moving from city lights to open fields
Everywhere you go, your true self revealed
Chorus
Maddie, piccolo shining through
Golden curls in the summer blue
From Decatur dreams to marching on
Bulldog pride and a heart so strong
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, Maddie, play on
Oh, play on, play on
Bridge
Twilight fades, and the band takes the field
Every note from your piccolo healed
Blonde hair shining, grace without end
Song in your soul that you always defend
Chorus
Maddie, piccolo shining through
Golden curls in the summer blue
From Decatur dreams to marching on
Bulldog pride and a heart so strong
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, Maddie, play on
Oh, play on, play on
Outro
One day you’ll lead as the trumpets ring
Queen of the moment, let your heart sing
Memories gather, laughter and gold
The sweetest story the world
outro (piccolo solo)
