This Is the Way We Are

歌詞

There is a place that I call home A place I always will come from A place that made me who I am A place that made me feel like I belong It's a line that can never be broken This place sustained me in my youth Shaped the man I hoped to be From my mother's womb to the delivery suite I'm someone that my father was to me This is the way we are This is the way it will be Some places are forever lost Innocence - virginity Thrown away before their time Are the faces I will never see again To the gulf and heaven sent Who would give it all up for their country? And a flag that burns the sky As I walk these streets within I see winds of change are blowing in me Cut me and I will bleed This is the way we are This is the way it will be I'm standing where I've stood before And I'll be back again I'm sure If not in this body then in spirit Look for me in the eyes of a child Until the day I die This is the way we are This is the way it will be The bricks and mortar of this life - The fabric of society Sometimes I see it in your eyes, sometimes in your smile I can do without the things I want But I can't do without the things I need This is the way we are This is the way it will be This is the place that I call home The place I always will come from The place that made me who I am This place that made me feel like I belong This is the way we are This is the way it will be
