Concrete Fields

[00:08.31] My old school has closed its doors
[00:11.63] The once green fields are now concrete floors
[00:15.51] And the roads are choking, full of misery and fear
[00:19.78] But my vision's getting clearer and my mind it feels so free
[00:24.19] And the work is hard and the wages are low
[00:28.99] But the smiles still appear and the rivers still flow
[00:33.09] And all I can do is sit here and moan
[00:38.02] But my heart still bleeds for this place that I call home
[00:43.56]
[00:51.33] My boyhood made of dreams of love
[00:55.98] The happiest of times sitting with my mum and dad
[00:59.85] But the bridges, the houses now dominate
[01:04.24] The vaping and the super schools, the breeding grounds of hate
[01:08.81] But those once green fields still live in my mind
[01:12.99] They seemed so perfect so simple and so kind
[01:17.12] Just me and my brother were kicking a ball
[01:21.98] The world so close and so beautiful
[01:28.13]
[01:35.65] And I got no answers, I place no blame
[01:40.02] I just feel longing and I wanna hear you name
[01:43.11] As I walk and I run through these once green fields
[01:48.72] It's easy to see what has disappeared
[01:52.99] And the air is getting heavy with memory and loss
[01:57.37] The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost?
[02:02.05] And the air is getting heavy with memory and loss
[02:06.24] The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost?
[02:13.59]
[02:46.81] Is this your inheritance?
[02:49.55] Is this all that's left?
[02:51.00] The mountains we climbed are now mountains of debt
[02:55.38] And the air is getting heavy with memory and loss
[03:00.16] The joy and the freedom
[03:02.28] But freedom at what cost?
[03:04.34] We had joy, we had fun,
[03:07.88] we had seasons in the sun
[03:12.02] Yeah, we had joy, we had fun,
[03:17.25] We had some seasons in the sun
[03:21.56] Yeah, we had joy, we had fun
[03:25.91] We had some seasons in the sun
[03:30.35] Yeah, we had joy, we had fun,
[03:34.75] We had some seasons in the sun
[03:38.03]
