Миллениум

I found a key in the drawer Under old school papers Bent like a promise From a colder year Laundromat rain on the window Mom counting change in the hall We learned to laugh with empty hands And still stand tall Hearts like patched-up coats Still warm in the snow We kept the spark alive When the power went low We are the millennium kids Marked by where we came from We are the millennium kids Hard times made us strong Child in my chest, stay loud Child in my chest, stay loud We are the millennium kids And we still sing along Post-perestroika mornings Plastic bags, broken roads Grandpa said, Hold your head up While the cold wind blew I wore my older brother's jacket Schoolyard knees full of dust Dreams were small as matchboxes But they lit the rust Hearts like patched-up coats Still warm in the snow We kept the spark alive When the power went low We are the millennium kids Marked by where we came from We are the millennium kids Hard times made us strong Child in my chest, stay loud Child in my chest, stay loud We are the millennium kids And we still sing along If I close my eyes, I can see it The cracked tiles, the crowded room But the boy in me won't leave He keeps making room We are the millennium kids Marked by where we came from We are the millennium kids Hard times made us strong Child in my chest, stay loud Child in my chest, stay loud We are the millennium kids And we still sing along
