街 (City)

Some days I run with a smile,
Other days I come home in tears.
I’m living with this city.

Every time I ride the rattling train,
I remember things from the past.
What I see outside the window
Are stories of our lives.

I hear the voices of my friends calling,
Together we finally start to move.

Some days I run with a smile,
Other days I come home in tears.
This city is always right here,
Etched into my heart.

I felt like someone was laughing,
I felt like someone was crying.
In the distant memories,
The city keeps falling away.

My throat is dry and parched,
I’ve let go of my bravado.
Every time our hands connect,
I feel like I’m getting stronger.

I hear the voices calling us,
Binding us together as we move forward.

Some days I hurt others,
Other days sadness wells up inside.
I turn it into words and sounds,
So I won’t forget.

Some days I run with a smile,
Other days I come home in tears.
This city is always right here,
Etched into my heart.

I felt like someone was laughing,
I felt like someone was crying.
In the distant memories,
The city keeps falling away.
