Children of Our Time versuri

Versuri Jake Karti & Tea Ohtonen – Children of Our Time lyrics

I walk so slowly through this street
It’s almost like being back in 2003
I went past the old school
No-one I know plays there now
And the secret tunnel, who uses it now?
It’s going south

Graffitis in the tunnel are still there
And the playground swing is still not repaired
This day may be gray
But I’m sure: that will change
Am I the lucky one who gets to see all this
Here and now?

But still I’m here, alive and well
And still those small traces tell
And still the same summers will come back and shine
For us all, the children of our time
For us all, the children of our time

I was driving last evening through a fog
Those bright company lights said: „You’ll soon be home”
Those joys, struggles too
What is there left to keep?
In the end the most permanent memory is me

And still I’m here, alive and well
And still those small traces tell
And still the same summers will come back and shine
For us all, the children of our time
For us all, the children of our time

(This is us, the children of our time)
(This is us, the children of our time)

But still I’m here, alive and well
And still those small traces tell
And still the same summers will come back and shine
For us all, the children of our time
The children of our time
