Revival
Laila Biali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on down, there’s a fire underground
Come on down when you hear that sound
Come on down, there’s a fire blowin’ ‘round
Sixteenth year of the 21st century
It was a year that shifted all of history
Six billion souls, three planets from the sun
So who-run-run
Seventeenth year of the 21st century
Two hundred thousand women marching for
equality
Six million more united into one
We’re rising up, so who-run-run-run,
So who-run-run
Paint your signs, lace up your shoes
Take a stand, there’s no excuse
Lift your voices, stake your claim
And get yourself into the game
Come on down when you hear that sound
Come on down, there’s a fire blowin’ ‘round
Come on down when you hear that sound
Come on down
Eighteenth year of the 21st century
A girl from Sweden breaking through the apathy
Seven billion souls together under one sun
The ocean rises, so who-run-run-run,
So who run-run
Paint your signs, lace up your shoes
Got to change their point of view
Find your courage, stake your claim
And use the power of your name
Come on down when you hear that sound
Come on down, there’s a fire blowin’ ‘round
Come on down when you hear that sound
Come on down, there’s a fire underground
Repeated:
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
Lift your voice, hit the street
Paint your signs, lace your shoes
Take a stand, no excuse
Come on down when you hear that sound
Come on down, there’s a fire blowin ‘round
Come on down when you hear that sound
Come on down, there’s a fire under
