Brothers Wilber and Orville Wright

Built wings out of wood and steel

Folks said that thing'll never fly

They said watch, I bet it will

We've been dyfyin' gravity now goin' on a hundred years

It was paper wings, faith and dreams

That's how we got from there to here



A nickel brought a soda pop way back then

And a movie only cost a dime

He came home with a scar and a purple heart

She waited all that time

Today they'll cut a golden wedding cake

How'd they made it all those years

It had to be tough, they just said it was love

That's how they got from there to here



You either do or you don't believe

That it can or can't be done

An ounce of faith and a touch of grace

And it can happen to anyone



Four boys, lotsa noise, two-car garage

Hey, turn those guitars down 

They couldn't know that the world would grow

In time to love that sound

They headed out, in a beat up van

And a U-Haul packed full of gear

The road was long, but the will was strong

That's how they got from there to here



Yeah, they got a bus but you can bet they'd walk

Just to hear another crowd cheer

It was a song and a prayer and a lotta luck and you

That got us from there to here
