Different We Are
Unity in Strife: The Vogelkop's Anthem of Resilience and Solidarity
Lyrics
Different race, different kind
Recognizing differences in race and kind
We ain't the same
Stating the lack of similarity or sameness
We never rhyme
Highlighting a lack of harmony or synchronization
Still trying
Persisting despite difficulties
Little kids living on the streets
Describing disadvantaged children living on the streets
Mother's smile seems far to reach
Expressing the unattainability of a mother's happiness or contentment
Dreams dying
Referring to the fading of dreams or aspirations
Blood on your hands
Symbolizing guilt or responsibility for violence or harm
What a twisted mind
Commenting on a disturbed or troubled mindset
The scar deepens more
Emphasizing the deepening of emotional wounds
When a young man dies
Pointing to the tragedy of a young person's death
Decrying
Expressing strong disapproval or condemnation
Isn't there a time to end these all
Questioning the ongoing nature of strife or conflict
Better it's now, before we fall
Advocating for action before a downfall occurs
No denying
Acknowledging the undeniable truth of a situation
Together we stand
Emphasizing unity or solidarity
Together we fight
Stating a collective stance in facing challenges
Together we heal
Emphasizing the joint effort in healing
Together we rise
Highlighting joint action for progress
When all the hopes are fading
Describing a situation where optimism is diminishing
The devils are raiding
Referencing negative or evil influences taking over
The lightning strikes
Metaphorically describing a sudden and powerful impact
Together we sail
Emphasizing collective navigation or journeying
Together we chart
Expressing joint planning or mapping the way forward
Too far we've fallen
Commenting on a significant decline or descent
Too far we're apart
Highlighting the considerable distance between individuals or groups
When human rights are taken
Referring to the violation or loss of human rights
When the hearts are breaking
Describing the emotional turmoil and pain
The fire ignites
Symbolizing the ignition of conflict or unrest
