Homerton /ˈhɒmərtən/ is a district in East London, England, in the London Borough of Hackney. It is bordered to the west by Hackney Central, to the north by Lower Clapton, in the east by Hackney Wick, Leyton and by South Hackney to the south.
Archaeological excavations at Link Street exposed a building dating to the 11th or 12th century suggesting that Homerton existed before it was first recorded in 1343. The hamlet of Homerton (Humberton or Hummerton, named for the farm of a woman named Hunburh) developed for about a half-mile along the road on the north side of the now buried and lost Hackney Brook, within the vale formed by the brook. This led from the hamlet of Clopton, passing near the church of St Augustine at Hackney, then across the marshes and the crossing points of both the River Lea, and its tributary, Hackney Brook. By 1605 Homerton was the most populous part of the Parish of Hackney, becoming a separate parish in 1846.
I woke up and the sun was shining
All these clouds that once were hiding
A resurrection of a life that's fighting
Just see me through to be reborn
This is my life to live
And I have my soul to give
You can't take it no more
Just see me through to be reborn
Chorus:
And we rise our eyes fixed high
You say you want it you've got to live it
Youve got to live it
I've seen this all before
Your fire fades you close the door
And I will not sit and mourn
Now you will rise to be reborn
Chorus:
And we rise our eyes fixed high
You say you want it you've got to live it
Youve got to live it
Bridge:
With all these words you try to say
Shut your mouth shut your mouth
Come against me everyday
