Verse 1
Out on the campus green where the river winds slow
There's a horn in the night with a golden glow
He was raised on the records of legends gone by
Now his slide sings a tale that can lift the sky

Verse 2
From a quiet practice room to the lights so grand
He learned how to shape every note by hand
With a fire in his tone and a style so clear
All the old hall masters stop and turn an ear

Chorus
Play on, trombone man, let your melody shine
Let the rhythm take hold as you fall into time
Every bright brass phrase, every hopeful line
Carry you forward as the stars align

Verse 3
There was Dizzy in the vinyl spinning late at night
Chano's heartbeat rhythm keeping time just right
He listened and he learned how the great ones play
Until his own bold voice found its shining day

Bridge
When the call came through, it felt almost unreal
A moment in the story where the clouds unseal
Now the future opens wide with a welcome hand
For the horn, for the heart, for the rising stand

Chorus
Play on, trombone man, let your melody shine
Let the rhythm take hold as you fall into time
Every bright brass phrase, every hopeful line
Carry you forward as the stars align

Outro
So raise up the lights and let the music ring
For a dream that grew strong on a steady swing
Tonight the room glows with a joy so true
And the sound of a horn finding something new
