Rökkurró - The backbone lyrics

This is the water That washed my tiny fingers A long time ago This is the wisdom My younger heart believed in A long time ago Now I see This is not the real world Now I see We're far behind Now I see The road is even longer Now I see The troubles that I faced Are replaced with lack of words Places I loved before Now filled with big buildings I see these walls In black and white They steal my thoughts And make me forget things All I ever wanted was to know To understand Look away The place you love Is never coming back All I ever wanted was to know To understand
