Where We Belong
Alex Pfeifer-Rosenblum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we've ended here anyway
I know I don't want to stay here
Where there's pouring rain all day
Seems like nobody cares
They go on with their lives
Like nothing happened at all
We have got to realize
There's a crash at the end of the fall
So let's look around us, where are we going?
Have we forgotten that war and greed are wrong?
Let's stop destroying and start creating
We'll make a world of peace, a place where we belong
Seems like we've been here before
But nobody seems to know
If we try to erase our history
How do we ever grow?
'Cause we've started a war
And we're scarring the plains
Just to let our fire burn
And we've taken so much
Away from the world
And it's time, time to return
So let's look around us, where are we going?
Have we forgotten that war and greed are wrong?
Let's stop destroying and start creating
We'll make a world of peace, a place where we belong
It's really hard to rise up
When the fog keeps pulling me down
How do we break out of this dream
Without falling to the ground?
'Cause we don't have a key
And we don't have the power
To mend all that is wrong
But every piece makes a puzzle
Every block builds a tower
Every deed will keep us strong
So let's look around us, where are we going?
Have we forgotten that war and greed are wrong?
Let's stop destroying and start creating
We'll make a world of peace, a place where we belong
'Cause that's where we belong
The lyrics of Alex Pfeifer-Rosenblum's song "Where We Belong" evoke a sense of confusion, frustration, and discouragement about the current state of the world. The singer notes that they didn't want to be in this place, but somehow they've ended up there anyway. They express a desire to leave because the constant pouring rain is overwhelming. Furthermore, the singer argues that others around them seem oblivious to the problems and struggles of the world, choosing to go on with their lives as if nothing has happened.
However, the chorus of the song introduces a theme of hope and determination. The singer suggests that it's time to stop ignoring the pressing issues of the world, such as war and greed, and instead start creating a more peaceful world where everyone belongs. They note that building a better world will take collective effort, but every small deed will contribute to a greater good.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the difficulty of rising above the metaphorical "fog" that surrounds them. They admit that they don't have all the solutions or power to fix everything that's wrong. Nevertheless, the final chorus offers a sense of resolve and a continued call to action.
Overall, "Where We Belong" offers a poignant reminder that the world is far from perfect and that it's easy to become discouraged by the current state of things. However, the song offers hope that by working together and starting small, we can create a better future.
