Futures
Romain Humeau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Choice of a true life, world and deeds
Someday they'll give us back our laws
Someday the human rights will lead
Look through the glass onion
People climbing up the wall
Freeing minds, stories and thinkers
All over the world you can
'Cause it can't be done with a gun
Futures
Futures
Someday, they'll give us back our words
Language of child, bees, light and trees
No more Panama or religion death trip
Someday they'll give us back our lungs
Lungs of mother nature's fields
Look through the glass onion
People tagging on the wall
Freeing minds, stories and teachers
All over the world you can
Only draw it with your soul
'Cause it won't be done with a bomb
Futures
Futures
Eighty five well-off are raising the wall
Look through the glass onion
People climbing up the wall
Freeing minds, stories and thinkers
All over the world you can
Qnly draw it with your soul
'Cause it won't be done with a gun
Futures
Look through the glass onion
People climbing up the wall
Freeing minds, stories and cultures
All over the world you can
Only draw it with your soul
'Cause it won't be done with a bomb
Futures
Eighty five well-off are raising the wall
Eighty five well-off are raising the wall
