Living Here - Emel

I know the rhythm of conversation here

Between two people

Between my people

The anger

The fear

The scars

The healing words

The dreaming words

The mourning words

The joyful words

I know the conversations

I know the intonations

I know the buzz of people on a busy street

I know the way we embrace

I know the way we remain

I know the way we are

I know the way I am

The way we are

I fold my clothes th way my mother does

I saw the squar when it was full but now it’s not

I will rise and dress

I will rise and dress

I carried it all across the year

But we are here

So we will live here

We are here

So we will here

We still have our hands

We still have our name

We still have our past

And time sprawling in front of us

We still have our hands

We still have our name

We still have our past

And time sprawling in front of us

Sprawling in front of us

We’re not surviving

We’re living here

We remain a city of the sky

We remain a river to the sea

We remain in light

We remain in light

We remain a city of the sky

We remain a river to the sea

We remain in light

We remain in light

We remain a city of the sky

We remain a river to the sea

We remain in light

We remain in light

We remain in light

In light

In light
