La ville de Philadelphie est née du rêve de son fondateur, William Penn, qui souhaitait montrer un exemple de tolérance aux autres nations. C'est là que se trouve l'intérêt du choix de cette ville et le paradoxe, entre cette ville symbole de tolérance et l'intolérance vis à vis des personnes atteintes du Sida que cette chanson dénonce, ainsi que d'autres formes d'intolérance qui sont retrouvées dans le film 'Philadelphia'
I was bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt I was unrecognizable to myself Saw my reflection in a window Didn't know my own face So brother are you gonna leave me wasting away On the streets of Philadelphia I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone I heard voices of friends vanished and gone At night I hear the blood in my veins Just as black and whispering as the rain On the streets of Philadelphia
Ain't no angel gonna greet me It's just you and I my friend And my clothes don't fit me no more I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin
Night is fallen, I'm lying awake I can feel myself fading away So receive me brother with your faithless kiss Or will we leave each other alone like this On the streets of Philadelphia

I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
Didn't know my own face
So brother are you gonna leave me wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia
I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin
Night is fallen, I'm lying awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia
