Lyrics
The cracks of the pavement
The challenges and difficulties in life represented by the cracks in the pavement.
Sung with a voice of an old friend
Expressing the lyrics with a comforting and familiar tone, like an old friend's voice.
We've been here before, holding our hands
Reflecting on past experiences together, facing challenges hand in hand.
To the tunes under the sun
Enjoying music or life's melodies under the warmth of the sun.
We used to have a dream
Recalling a shared dream from the past.
We built it from rubble and dust
Building a dream despite challenges and adversity.
They whispered our names, burned down our city
Facing criticism and opposition, symbolized by the burning down of their city.
But I guess we'll build it again
Expressing resilience and determination to rebuild after setbacks.
Once a man told me
Receiving advice to follow one's heart.
To do what my heart says
Reflecting on the difficulty of following one's heart when hope seems lost.
But what do we do when all hope is lost
Contemplating the loss of cherished things in challenging times.
And the things we treasure the most?
Describing the act of escaping challenges with their backs against the world.
Running away, our backs against the world
Running away while maintaining pride and confidence.
Running away, our heads up high
Retaining dignity and self-esteem despite challenges.
We haven't lost everything, you see
Acknowledging that despite losses, there are still valuable things remaining.
What we have left is here
Emphasizing the importance of what is still present.
It was so simple
Recalling a time when life was simpler and more secure.
In a sanctuary that's so strong
Describing a strong and secure place or state of being.
They've torn down our walls, so we'll get back what's ours
Facing the destruction of their protective walls and vowing to reclaim what belongs to them.
And fight with all our hearts
Demonstrating determination to fight passionately for what they value.
Running away, our backs against the world
Reiterating the theme of running away while confronting challenges.
Running away, our heads up high
Maintaining pride and confidence in the face of adversity.
We haven't lost everything, you see
Highlighting that, despite losses, there are still valuable things remaining.
What we have left is here
Emphasizing the importance of what is still present.
Running away, our backs against the world
Continuing the theme of running away with determination and pride.
Running away, our heads up high
Maintaining dignity and confidence even when facing challenges.
We haven't lost everything, you see
Acknowledging that, despite losses, there are still valuable things remaining.
What we have left is here
Emphasizing the importance of what is still present.
