Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking past the painted walls today
These familiar footsteps feel the same
Through the narrow alleys where we ran
Past the bakery with fresh warm bread
Something pulls me back to yesterday
When we owned these streets and knew no pain
[Pre-chorus]
Every doorway holds a memory
Every corner tells our history
[Chorus]
These streets remember our names
Every stone, every place stays the same
When I call out for you, habibi
The wind carries back our old game
These streets remember our names
Time moves on but we remain
In the heart of where we grew
These streets remember, they do
[Verse 2]
Remember racing past the fountain square
Playing marbles in the summer heat
Your mother calling from the balcony
Sweet mint tea and dates to eat
Now the houses wear their age with pride
But I still see us, side by side
[Pre-chorus]
In the courtyard where we used to play
Children's laughter sounds the same today
[Chorus]
These streets remember our names
Every stone, every place stays the same
When I call out for you, habibi
The wind carries back our old game
These streets remember our names
Time moves on but we remain
In the heart of where we grew
These streets remember, they do
[Oud Solo]
[instrumental break]
[Bridge]
The spice shop still stands on the corner
The old man's son runs it now
I buy za'atar like we used to
And for a moment, somehow
You're right here beside me again
In this place we called home
Though years and miles divide us
I never walk alone
[Final Chorus]
These streets remember our names
Every stone, every place stays the same
When I call out for you, habibi
The wind carries back our old game
These streets remember our names
Time moves on but we remain
In the heart of where we grew
These streets remember, they do
