I was walking along some downtown avenue.
|
I was whistling a new song to myself.
|
and it went, it went something like this one,
|
but I just couldn't make it end.
|
but I was talking about this song to a friend of mine,
|
and she sang me a new song of her own.
|
she said, she said the cards are still stacked against her,
|
but she said she could still do it alone.
|
and i saw for all of us, she spoke:
|
"wont you stand up for the hearts of oak?"
|
I was listening to this song by this friend of mine.
|
I was feeling what she said, i was hearing her rage.
|
she said, "no weak, no weak heart shall prosper!"
|
she said, she said,"nothing's wrong,
|
and I belong on this stage" and i saw for all of us,
|
she spoke: "wont you stand up for the hearts of oak?"
|
and I saw her stand - she couldnt be broken.
|
and I saw her show her heart of oak
|
again and again and again and...
|
If you think, if you think, everything is cool (yeah, yeah),
|
can't you hear, can't you hear what the girl goes through? (yeah, yeah)
|
can you tell, can you tell me that it's not true?
|
(no, no) can you find, can you find the heart of oak in you?
|
when the night, it ends, and you've awoken,
|
wont you stand up with your heart of oak again?
|
like the girl withstands
|
she cant be broken wont you stand up for the hearts of oak
|
again and again and again and again
|
I was walking along some downtown avenue.
|
I was sharing the sidewalk with my friend.
|
we were singing this song together and it sounded so good,
|
we said, we said "let's sing it again!" (and it had
|
no end)...
