Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And watch from far away.
But you always knew that you'd be the one
That work while they all play.
In youth you'd lay
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change,
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
Will come
When you'll have to rise
Above the best and prove yourself,
Your spirit never dies!
Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above,
But don't weep for me
'Cause this will be
The labor of my love
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.

This is what happens when someone like San does the right cover for himself. From the beginning, when San started dancing, I felt goosebumps because I knew that San would choke me with the intensity of his performance. Our San has matured perfectly. He is a real tiger.

It's crazy to think San couldn't dance when he joined KQ, and look at him now. not only did he choreograph on it, but he was the one who pitched the idea to kq. he chose the song, the concept, the story and how it was told and had a hand in every decision made; truly a product he worked so hard on and put all of himself into it , we stan king
@starrynight8177
Cant imagine how he manage his time with this cover with daily ateez songs routine practices the tour concerts n the stages shows n others show that involved with ateez ...must be a struggle time for him..we appreciated all his hardwork n proud of him..

People are saying that San started to get attention only after showing his body 💀💀 San literally became popular for the first time since HALA HALA because of his legendary fancam that went viral that time over 1 million views and mind you he was FULLY CLOTHED there... Y'all can go cry elsewhere and don't embarrass yourselves more San will always be famous ❤
