Rotten Apple Lyrics in English
(Verse 1)
In the heart of the city, where dreams are sold,
Lies a tale of deception, a story untold.
A rotten apple, they say, in this concrete jungle,
Where innocence is lost, and hope starts to crumble.
(Chorus)
Oh, this rotten apple, it’s a bitter fruit,
Where dreams turn to ashes, and hearts are left mute.
But we’ll rise above, with strength and might,
In this rotten apple, we’ll find our light.
(Verse 2)
In the shadows of skyscrapers, secrets reside,
Where the desperate and broken, their dreams have died.
But amidst the chaos, a flicker of hope,
A voice in the darkness, refusing to cope.
(Chorus)
Oh, this rotten apple, it’s a bitter fruit,
Where dreams turn to ashes, and hearts are left mute.
But we’ll rise above, with strength and might,
In this rotten apple, we’ll find our light.
(Bridge)
Through the concrete cracks, flowers will bloom,
Defying the odds, dispelling the gloom.
For in this rotten apple, there’s beauty unseen,
A resilience that’s born, from the places we’ve been.
(Verse 3)
In the streets filled with struggle, we’ll find our way,
United we stand, against the decay.
With hearts full of passion, we’ll break the mold,
In this rotten apple, a new story unfolds.
(Chorus)
Oh, this rotten apple, it’s a bitter fruit,
Where dreams turn to ashes, and hearts are left mute.
But we’ll rise above, with strength and might,
In this rotten apple, we’ll find our light.
(Outro)
So let the world see, the strength we possess,
In this rotten apple, we’ll find success.
For the spirit of resilience, will never be confined,
In this rotten apple, our dreams will shine.
