thao & the get down stay down - temple (strings version) lyrics

i lost my city in the light of day
thick smoke, helicopter blades
heaven and earth have never moved so fast
you’ll never know the fear your mama has
i know your father can’t call anymore
he never meant to be a man of war
but we found freedom what will you do now
bury the burden, baby, make us proud

i lost my city in the light of day
thick smoke, helicopter blades
why would i bother to remember when
our people, baby, die and live again?

look at this one
i want you to see
fashion was high
my hair was so long
this was maybe ’73
you know i have been adored by good and kind men
they sent their love with poetry
by day i gave grand speeches
at night, like you
we danced to be free

i lost my city in the prime of my time
mud, silk, and the dust of life
i was a diamond of the embassy
it doesn’t matter what i meant to be
girl, you come from the fortunate ones
gold sky and a first born son
we don’t have words for the way you have grown
we’ll always feed you
you can always come home
why would a million dare sink in the sea?
why would a million dare sink in the sea?
why would a million dare sink in the sea?
why would a million dare sink in the sea?

i don’t want to say anymore
but i have been here before
i don’t want to say anymore
find what you need
i don’t want to say anymore
but i have been here before
i have earned this sorrow
mine to keep

i lost my city in the light of day
thick smoke, helicopter blades
why would i bother to remember when
our people, baby, die and live again?

i lost my city in the light of day
thick smoke, helicopter blades
heaven and earth have never moved so fast
you’ll never know the fear your mama has
i know your father can’t call anymore
he never meant to be a man of war
but we found freedom what will you do now
bury the burden, baby, make us proud
