Years Ahead of Us / Marc Ash

[Intro] Turn the lights up, let the amps ignite There’s a little more fire in me tonight I came in carrying a storm I couldn’t outrun Now I’m looking at the road and I’m not done [Verse 1] I walked in carrying a storm With every fear I couldn’t hide Then a doctor looked me in the eye And said there’s more we can try He sees a road where I saw a wall A chance to stand a little taller And all I could think as the hope came through Was I’ve got more life to share with you [Pre-Chorus] Kristy, take my hand Feel that heartbeat make a stand We’ve seen some nights that felt too long But hope came back—and here comes the song [Chorus] We’ve got years ahead of us More nights beneath the stars More waking up together More laughing in the dark Let the old fear hit the floor Let the new hope shake the dust My heart is still right here with yours We’ve got years ahead of us [Verse 2] I’ve had days when every step felt heavy When the future seemed too far away But you kept finding ways to make me smile And you never let the love fade Now there’s a doctor saying life can change There’s a better road we might get to see I’m not taking one good word for granted I’m just glad you’re here beside me [Pre-Chorus] Kristy, take my hand Feel that heartbeat make a stand We’ve seen some nights that felt too long But hope came back—and here comes the song [Chorus] We’ve got years ahead of us More nights beneath the stars More waking up together More laughing in the dark Let the old fear hit the floor Let the new hope shake the dust My heart is still right here with yours We’ve got years ahead of us [Verse 3] We’ll make more memories out of ordinary days Find a little music in the hard and heavy rain We’ll talk until the evening turns to morning And take the good days as they come There’ll be plans we haven’t made yet Places we can dream about And if the road gets steep between us We’ll take it one step at a time [Verse 4] I’ve got a friend in Jesus, and you right by my side With a fire in my chest that refuses to die I won’t pretend I know what waits around the bend But I know who I want there when the next day begins Your hand in mine, your voice in the room A little more sunlight breaking through I’ve got so much love I still want to give And so many reasons to keep reaching for life [Chorus] We’ve got years ahead of us More nights beneath the stars More waking up together More laughing in the dark Let the old fear hit the floor Let the new hope shake the dust My heart is still right here with yours We’ve got years ahead of us [Bridge] Turn it up, let the speakers roar I’m not counting down—I’m asking for more More time, more love, more life to live More of the joy that we still can give More kitchen dancing, more late-night talks More quiet mornings and evening walks More holding you close when the day is done More watching the years roll on [Breakdown] I heard the words I felt the change A little hope A little space The road ahead may twist and turn But there’s still a fire left to burn [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] We’ve got years ahead of us More nights beneath the stars More waking up together More laughter in our hearts Let the old fear hit the floor Let the new hope shake the dust My heart is still right here with yours We’ve got years ahead of us [Final Chorus – Bigger] We’ve got years ahead of us And I’m ready for them all More songs to sing together More memories to recall Let the whole world hear us Let the rafters shake with trust My heart is still right here with yours We’ve got years ahead of us [Outro] Years ahead, hand in hand Kristy, you’re my heart, my home, my plan Years ahead, and I’m holding on We’ve got years ahead—and the song goes on
