These Streets Are Ours (Reprise)

from Hiraeth by Cosmo

/

lyrics

Last night I dreamt the neon signs came crashing down
Shattered shopfront glass like jewels lay all around
Checkpoints deserted,
No-one in the soldiers' sights
Could this be real?
Just for tonight?

These streets are ours
This land is ours

Aspiration on remand, imprisoned in our minds
Bodies violated, rotting doing time
Youth we can't protect, is aspiration such a crime?
Right here, right now we crossed the line

These streets are ours
This land is ours

Where we going now the way is clear?
What's the vision now we have no fear?
Tell me how we gonna fill this space?
Stop sitting round and getting off your face!
Paint the sky or fill the air with song?
Work, study, party all night long?
Love and hope or sit around and laze?
Endless ways to fill up endless days...

When I awoke the neon signs came crashing down
Shattered shopfront glass like jewels lay all around
Checkpoint manned with soldiers in their tanks and jeeps
The teargas put me back to sleep...

These streets are ours
This land is ours
