Lyrics
It’s been a while my friend
Reflecting on the passage of time and addressing a friend.
Around thirty years
Approximately three decades have passed since a significant event.
So many things have changed
Noticing changes or reorganization in life during the elapsed time.
Or were just rearranged
Suggesting that changes may not be fundamental but rather a reordering of elements.
But we kept dreams in store
Despite changes, retaining dreams deep within one's being.
Deep inside the core
Emphasizing the enduring nature of dreams at the core of one's identity.
Now the time has come
Acknowledging the arrival of a significant moment, possibly symbolized by the sound of a war drum.
With the sound of the war drum
Connecting the present moment with the anticipation of conflict or challenge.
Tell me that you’re with me now
Requesting confirmation of support from the friend.
Show me that you’re ready for
Expressing the need for a visible demonstration of readiness for what lies ahead.
Get down
Command to take action or engage in a physical response.
We want more
Expressing a desire for an increased quantity or intensity.
This is the time of the rising force
Declaring the current period as the era of a powerful and advancing force.
I was too young in those days
Reflecting on youth and lack of experience during a certain period.
To feel the flame inside
Not feeling a passionate drive internally during that earlier time.
To raise my hands up high, for a change of life but
Expressing a desire for change in life by raising hands high.
I’ve learned the lesson fast
Learning important life lessons quickly.
And If I recall the past
Recalling experiences from the past.
I was just an inch away from whom I am today
Being very close to one's current identity during that past period.
Tell me that you’re with me now
Reiterating the need for support and companionship in the present.
Show me that you’re ready for
Requesting a visible sign of readiness from the friend.
Get down
Command to take action or engage in a physical response.
We want more
Expressing a desire for an increased quantity or intensity.
This is the time of the rising force
Declaring the current period as the era of a powerful and advancing force.
Get down
Repeating the call to action or heightened response.
We want more
Expressing a desire for an increased quantity or intensity (repeated).
This is the time of the rising force
Declaring the current period as the era of a powerful and advancing force (repeated).
Get down
Command to take action or engage in a physical response (repeated).
We want more
Expressing a desire for an increased quantity or intensity (repeated).
This is the time of the rising force
Declaring the current period as the era of a powerful and advancing force (repeated).
