Hometown Glory
Adele [aticus] Lyrics
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

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.
