Our Neighborhood
Weaving Tales of Rich and Poor in Our Neighborhood
Lyrics
Some of the poorest carried jewels in their eyes
Some individuals with limited material wealth possess a rich inner world reflected in their eyes.
A sense of truth, a sense of hunger
People in the neighborhood embody qualities of honesty and a strong desire for improvement.
While some of the richest go on living vacant lives
In contrast, some wealthy individuals lead empty lives without a sense of curiosity or appreciation.
Free of any sense of wonder
These rich individuals lack a sense of awe or amazement in their lives.
Open the gate, you're standing in line
People are eagerly waiting, seeking entrance or recognition.
Wanting respect, wanting some time
They desire respect and acknowledgment of their worth, yearning for time and attention.
Up in the dark, we're giving the good
In the darkness, the community shares goodness, offering assistance.
To all the poor from the rich
Generosity is extended from the affluent to the less fortunate.
Our neighborhood, our neighborhood, yeah
Emphasis on the collective identity and unity of the neighborhood.
Our neighborhood, our neighborhood, yeah
Reiteration of the importance and solidarity within the neighborhood.
Open the gate, you're standing in line
Similar to line 7, expressing the anticipation of inclusion or recognition.
Wanting respect, wanting some time
Continued desire for respect and a share of valuable time.
Up in the dark, we're giving the good
Reiteration of the positive act of providing goodness, especially in challenging times.
To all the poor from the rich
Continuation of the theme of sharing resources and support from the affluent to the less privileged.
Our neighborhood, our neighborhood, yeah
Reaffirmation of the collective identity and unity within the neighborhood.
Our neighborhood, our neighborhood, yeah
Final reinforcement of the neighborhood's shared identity and togetherness.
