Concrete Fields

My old school that's closed its doors

The once green fields on the concrete floors

And the roads are choking full of misery and fear

But my vision's getting clearer

And my mind it feels so free

And the work is hard

And the wages are low

But the smile's still here

And the river's still slowing

And all I can do is sit here and moan

But my heart still bleeds

For this place that I call home

My boyhood made of dreams of love

The happiest of times sitting with my mam tap

But the bridges the houses now dominate

The breeding and the super schools

The breeding grounds of hate

But that's once green fields still limping my mind

They seem so perfect

So simple and so kind

Just me and my brother

We're kicking a ball

The world so close and so beautiful

And I got no answers I place no blame

I just feel a longing

And I wanna hear your name

As I walk and run through these once green fields

It's easier to see water's disappeared

And the air is getting heavy with memory to last

The joy and the freedom

But freedom at what cost

And the air is getting heavy

The memory to last

The joy and the freedom

But freedom at what cost

Is this your inheritance

Is this all that's left

The mountains we climbed are now mountains of debt

And the air is getting heavy with memory to last

The joy and the freedom

But freedom at what cost

We had joy and we had fun

We had seasons in the sun

Yeah we had joy and we had fun

We had some seasons in the sun

And we had joy and we had fun

We had some seasons in the sun

Yeah we had joy and we had fun

We had some seasons in the sun
