Hometown Glory
Adele攀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been walking in the same way as I did
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"
Round my hometown
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

I will run, I will climb, I will soar
I'm undefeated
Jumping out of my skin, pull the chord
Yeah, I believe it
The past is everything we were
Don't make us who we are
So I'll dream until I make it real
And all I see is stars
It's not until you fall that you fly
When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable
Take a shot, chase the sun
Find the beautiful
We will glow in the dark
Turning dust to gold
And we'll dream
It possible
Possible
I will chase, I will reach, I will fly
Until I'm breaking, until I'm breaking
Out of my cage, like a bird in the night
I know I'm changing, I know I'm changing
In, into something big
Better than before
And if it takes, takes a thousand lives
Then it's worth fighting for
It's not until you fall that you fly
When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable
Take a shot, chase the sun
Find the beautiful
We will glow in the dark
Turning dust to gold
And we'll dream
It possible
Possible
Possible
Possible
From the bottom to the top
We're sparking wild fire
Never quit and never stop
The rest of our lives
From the bottom to the top
We're sparking wild fire
Never quit and never stop
It's not until you fall that you fly
When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable
Take a shot, chase the sun
Fnd the beautiful
We will glow in the dark
Turning dust to gold
And we'll dream
It possible
Possible
Possible
And we'll dream
It possible

2014 when I got my first Huawei phone….
After listening to this song I got so inspired….
That when we dream really and believe that we can achieve it nothing can stop us…
So I dream… I dream and work out to make it come true…



After 2 years…. I got my dream phone…. iPhone 6S….


Hahahaha


Thanks you Huawei for the inspiration.
Kidding aside. I love Huawei really. I got Huawei P10 then Honor 8x (previously Huawei)… and now back to iPhone 12…


Long live dreamers…
