Egan 2026.19 - Gonna be Golden (Fawn)
Egan 2026.19:
Are you done hiding from the hard hills, but now you’re shining on every Egan? Are you born to be here? Dreaming about biking hard, riding so far? Now you believe!
You better, because:
We're goin' up, up, up, it's our moment (to suffer)
You know together we're glowin', gonna be, gonna be golden (fawn)
Oh, up, up, up with our voices (cursing loudly)
gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin'
Like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies (slow times, lots of fear, lots of lies)
That's who we're born to be (insane people)
see you there
