Keep It Gay
Me And Juliet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see the light
From the setting sun
So calm and quiet here
I wish the world could feel
The same as me
It's time to let Greta know
Is not in vain
She's so strong and I admire her
How she's fighting for help
The world to see
The generations to come
Will judge us very hard
You have to take a stand
And join her efforts now
Get out of your comfort zone
And take the trouble to adjust
You can not bother now
It is not too late
Late in the afternoon
I can see the light
From the setting sun
So calm and quiet here
I wish the world could feel
The same as me
Wish the world could know
We must act now
Wish the world could feel
Wish the world could see
The same as me
Even though it's hard to get
We must accept this now
There are a lot to do
We have to understand this now

Late in the afternoon
As the day draws to a close
I can see the light
I am aware of a glimmer of hope
From the setting sun
As the sun fades into the horizon
So calm and quiet here

I wish the world could feel
I hope everyone else could experience the same
The same as me
The tranquility and positivity that surrounds me
It's time to let Greta know

Her work to combat climate change
Is not in vain
Is meaningful and impactful
