Relics to Ruins
From Relics to Resilience: A Journey Through Ashes
Lyrics
I watch the orange glow in the sky
I observe the orange glow in the sky.
In the ashes it became clear
In the aftermath, clarity emerged.
This place was home for you and I
This place was a home for both of us.
Now in ruins our future in fear
Now our future is filled with fear as it lies in ruins.
With nothing left it was all burnt to the ground
Everything has been destroyed, reduced to ashes.
I found no comfort in these un-crowded street
Amidst these empty streets, I find no solace.
Calling out for your name I can hear the come
Calling out for your name, I hear the echo.
Running faster right behind me
Running faster, with a sense of pursuit.
Things were stripped of life with the smoke in the air
Life has been stripped away, and the air is filled with smoke.
I felt the cold wind blowing on my face
I feel the chilling wind on my face.
Memories of times and the places that were there
Recollections of times and places flood my mind.
I got to pull you out from under this place
I must rescue you from the ruins.
What do we do here?
A question arises about what to do in this situation.
Holding on still breath we're on our way
Clutching onto the last breath, we're making progress.
Breaking through the pieces in the way
We're breaking through obstacles in our path.
Crawling over mountains we can climb
Climbing over mountains, overcoming challenges.
We'll get out in time
We will escape in due time.
The trail had lead me back to the places I had been
The trail leads me back to familiar places.
The smoke had cleared and opened up the sky
The smoke clears, revealing the sky.
I saw you buried there to my own disbelief
I discover you buried there, a moment of disbelief.
And there were tears all in your eyes
Tears fill your eyes.
You said now son they can break my heart
You convey that although they can break your heart, we won't be torn apart.
But, they will never tear us apart
(Repetition of the line, emphasizing resilience.)
And, we'll live just to get out of this place
We will live to escape this place.
Picking up where we left were on our way
Continuing from where we left off, progressing.
Don't give up son you know it's time to fight
Encouragement not to give up, it's time to fight.
And get out all right
We will make it out all right.
Sing out sing while you can
Sing out loud while you still can.
And we'll live again
We will live again through the power of song.
Fight for what we demand
Fighting for what we demand, our rights.
Yeah, we're almost there
We are nearly there, almost achieving our goal.
Don't give up we can fight
Don't give up; we can persevere through the struggle.
I know we can
I believe we can overcome any obstacle.
It's almost over I swear that we'll make it and,
It's almost over; I swear we will make it.
We made it past, they caught up with us and know we're done
We managed to surpass challenges, but they caught up, and now it's over.
