Rome wasn't built in a day

Hi there!
Enjoy this beautiful song by Morcheeba with a tiny bit of passive voice and useful expressions.
And, as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day.

You and me, we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day?

In this day and age it's so easy to stress
'Cause people are strange and you can never second guess
In order to love, child, we got to be strong
I'm caught in the crossfire why can't we get along?

'Cause you and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day?

I'm having a daydream, we're getting somewhere
I'm kissing your lips and running fingers through your hair
I'm as nervous as you 'bout making it right
Though we know we were wrong, we can't give up the fight
Oh no

'Cause you and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll run away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day?

You and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day?

You and me (you and me) we're meant to be (meant to be)
Walking free (walking free) in harmony (in harmony)
One fine day (one fine day) we' ll run away (we gonna run away, we gonna run away)
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day?

  1. This song is really interesting.
    We can know a lot of vocabulary and expressions from songs :)
    And in this case, the expression "Rome wasn't built in a day" is the same that we have in Spanish.

    See you later,
