Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And turning my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear?
Is there anyone I could call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam.
I ain't lost, just wandering"
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of now
I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met yea
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
Of my world, yeah
Of my world
Of my world, yeah

Line by Line Meaning
I've been walking in the same way as I did
I have been following the same routine and path as before
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
Ignoring the flaws and imperfections of life
And turning my heel and strutting my feet
Walking confidently with a sense of purpose
"Is there anything I can do for you dear?
Asking if there is anything she can help with
Is there anyone I could call?"
Offering to make a call for assistance
"No and thank you, please Madam.
Politely declining any help
I ain't lost, just wandering"
Not lost, but rather exploring and wandering aimlessly
Round my hometown
Reflecting on her hometown
Memories are fresh
Recalling vivid memories of the past
Ooh the people I've met
Reflecting on the people she has encountered
Are the wonders of my world
Those acquaintances and encounters have added excitement and joy to her life
I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
Enjoys the city atmosphere when it is humid and hazy
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
The relaxed dress code in the city pleases her
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
Excited by how diverse groups of people can intersect in the same city
You get the people and the government
Two contrasting groups in the city
Everybody taking different sides
Society cannot agree on many issues, so everyone has a different opinion
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
People are frustrated and unwilling to tolerate certain conditions any longer
Shows that we are united
Although there are differences, people can come together to make a stand
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Refusing to tolerate certain circumstances any longer
Round my hometown
Still reflecting on her past and where she comes from
Memories are fresh
Still very vivid recollections of her hometown
Round my hometown
Again, reflecting on her hometown
Ooh the people I've met yea
The many individuals she has met have positively impacted her
Are the wonders of my world
Her encounters with different people truly make her world more exciting and fascinating
Of my world, yeah
Again, crediting these encounters with shaping and adding joy to her world
Of my world
Final note to emphasize that these individuals she has met have had a significant impact on her life

These souls, who are the most deeply in the lies, shall have the most powerful testimony's.
Every one, EVERY ONE is called to repentance, to born again, to count the cost of becoming CHRISTIAN.
For we all are HUMAN BEINGS and sinned and fallen short in the glory of GOD, therefore to us all a way to SALVATION is given, THROUGH CHRIST goes the only way, WHICH IS NARROW not wide.
"people are uncomfortable speaking about this" - that`s because they SIN that bad.
And if truth hurts us that bad, we then better pray, that we never gonna know nor understand how badly sick and evil we have become all these 3 times:
- before the flood,
- before the burn up city,
- now, before the fire.
3 blown up chances. Why are we worry about climate changes? No climate change. All we do witness is THE (RIGHTEOUS) WRATH OF GOD. Why? - cause we`re SICK AND EVIL. Were WICKED.
Souls, time to stop using all these emojis and hand signs, for all these origin from masonry and do so in both places: online and offline.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
All the famous and rich names give up being a CHRISTIAN (if they, a FTMs and MTFs even were ) on that very moment they signed the contract or as they also admit, that they did made the deal with the devil.
