My Old Town
Reflections of Change: My Hometown's Evolution
Lyrics
My old town is weary - of trying to be rough
My old town is tired of attempting to appear harsh.
My old town is weary - of trying to be tough
My old town is weary of trying to project a tough image.
The train station is sleeping in the rain
The train station is desolate, exposed to the rain.
Waiting for that last elusive train
Waiting for the final, elusive train to arrive.
The soldiers have all gone
The soldiers have departed, leaving an emptiness.
The rockets and the trucks have all departed
Rockets and trucks have all left, indicating a significant departure.
My old town is ruthless
My old town is ruthless, favoring those who emerge victorious.
It favors those who win
It supports winners, regardless of the actual truth.
No matter what the truth is
Despite the truth, it shows kindness to close family members.
It’s kind to next of kin
Favorable treatment extends to the next of kin.
It’s kind to all the gamblers
It extends its kindness even to gamblers.
The harvest’s rolling in
The harvest is prosperous and ongoing.
A fortune to be made
Opportunities for wealth creation are abundant.
The weatherman has spoken in our favor
The weatherman predicts favorable conditions for the town.
And then the rain returns from vacation
However, the rain returns abruptly from its hiatus.
A heavy storm comes down on the nation
A severe storm descends upon the nation.
The plague returns, we all say our prayers
The plague makes a comeback, prompting prayers from the inhabitants.
The plague returns, it sure will delay our dreams
The return of the plague delays the realization of dreams.
My old town is dying
My old town is in a state of decline.
The symptoms are so clear
The symptoms of decay are evident and unmistakable.
There’s no use in denying
There's no point in denying the impending demise.
It sure will disappear
The town is destined to vanish.
The map will be rewritten
The map will be redefined, signifying a transformation.
The pilgrims will set out
Pilgrims will embark on a journey, seeking freedom from the town.
They will be free…
They will achieve freedom.
Free from my old town
Freedom from the constraints of my old town.
Free from my old town
Freedom from the influence of my old town.
Free from my old town
Complete liberation from the ties of my old town.
