Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perseverance faith is all you have no one's around
You had flee big bombs da walls came down
Now we're in da Uk and we call it Derby Town
Yh that's my town 31 years I've been ground
If you treat it nicely you can come and hold it down
It feels better when there's people for ya
It always feels better when dares people for ya
You tell me that you're listening but both your ears are missing
Your life is full of assurance am just sat here wishing
Wishing that the Lord will keep me safe throughout this mission
You don't Know how it feels to lose everything you built
Every day move forward resilience and will
We ain't promised a tomorrow so the presence is so real
Every action that you take take time out to feel
We gota slow down
I mean slow right down
Feel the air throughout the lungs as it's traveling around
Take time out to reflect
Stop the running around
You'll be no use to no-one if your lying in the ground
Life's about control
And life's about balance
It's here to make us think
It's really one big challenge
We all have hopes and dreams Sometimes we can't manage
Lift your fingers in the air with me
We're ready for the challenge
I see da way you go from town to town
Perseverance faith is all you have no1s around
You had flee big bombs da walls came down
Now we're Uk and we call it Derby Town
Yh dats town 31 years av been ground
