Hey Men
Journey Through Generations: Unveiling Life's Lessons in 'Hey Men'
Lyrics
Treat yourself to a trip
Treat yourself to a journey
On the callous hills
On the harsh, tough experiences
Of your grand father's hands and save for them a tear
Of your grandfather's hard work and preserve a tear for them
Treat yourself to a heartbeat
Treat yourself to a moment of life
So close to eternity
So close to the everlasting
Honouring what was done to make possible what will be
Respecting the past that paved the way for the future
Hey men we run glorifying the speed
Hey men, we rush, celebrating speed
But the more we go far, the less we read
But the farther we go, the less we educate ourselves
Hey men we learn, distractedly
Hey men, we learn with distractions
The more we cover up ruins the less we’ll be complete
Concealing our mistakes diminishes our wholeness
Treat yourself to a frightening dip
Treat yourself to a confronting experience
Into the passed down fears
Dive into the inherited fears
To immunize this present grief and allow new experiences
Build immunity to current sorrows for new experiences
Treat yourself to the scent of wheat
Treat yourself to the aroma of wheat
Your arms already know how to reap
Your hands already know how to harvest
Cause they are wet with the same blood shed in antiquity
As they are stained with the same ancient bloodshed
Hey men we run glorifying the speed
Hey men, we rush, celebrating speed
But the more we go far, the less we read
But the farther we go, the less we educate ourselves
Hey men we learn, distractedly
Hey men, we learn with distractions
The more we cover up ruins the less we’ll be complete
Concealing our mistakes diminishes our wholeness
The past is behind us like our mater's glance
The past is behind us, like our mother's gaze
That guide us even if we don’t deserve it
Guiding us even if we are undeserving
Hiding it would be our biggest shame
Hiding it would be our greatest shame
We can move forward but we’ll always be tied with a rubber band
We can progress, but we'll always be connected like a rubber band
Treat yourself to an eerie thrill
Treat yourself to a mysterious excitement
Thinking of your future offspring
Contemplating the memories for your future generations
What if all your efforts fade from their memories?
What if your endeavors fade from their memories?
