Introduction of Verse 2
Eons of struggle - Built into their bones
Expressing the enduring nature of the villagers' struggles ingrained in their existence
And earned them progress - Of treasures untold
Highlighting the progress achieved, often unseen and valuable like hidden treasures
Now their descendants - Don't know the lives that've been sold
Reflecting on the ignorance of descendants regarding sacrifices made in the past
And their together - I feel it's losing it's hold
Expressing a concern that the unity of the community is diminishing
Chorus
Introduction of Chorus
Are we grateful for the things we've gotten
Questioning gratitude for the achievements and blessings
Are we standing tall on humble knees?
Asking if humility accompanies the progress or if arrogance prevails
Are we grateful or have we long forgotten
Raising doubt about the remembrance of past struggles and sacrifices
All we are is Eyes Not Wheeze
Suggesting a focus on superficial aspects rather than genuine gratitude
Verse 3

Back in the hard times - Everyone lent hand
Recalling a time when everyone in the village supported each other
The greater good - Our only plan
Emphasizing a communal mindset for the greater good as the primary plan
What's mine was yours - We're all the same
Stating the shared ownership and cooperation during challenging times
I hope with progress - That never change
Expressing a hope that progress does not lead to a loss of the cooperative spirit
