Lena Rose
Mercutio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We gotta hang on
We gotta keep moving
We gotta stay strong
No matter what
We gotta keep moving
No matter what
We gotta keep moving
Did you hear about what happened to Lena Rose?
She had everything she wanted, but she didn't know
That the bank, the bank would foreclose
And although she's free it's not the way it was meant to be
And although she ran she wasn't free in her native land
We gotta keep moving
We gotta be free
We can move mountains
We can part seas
No matter what
We gotta keep proving
No matter what
We gotta keep proving
Did you hear about what happened to Lena Rose?
There was nothing more she wanted than to sing what she wrote
In a place that she could call home
And although she tries she can't express what she feels inside
And although she's alive she works so hard just to survive
Did you hear about what happened to Lena Rose?
She had nothing that she wanted until she let go
And embraced a life on the road
And despite her fame she smiled and felt no shame
And despite her acclaim they couldn't change what she became
