We Are The Way We Are

(álbum: The City In Me - 2010)

We are gray like the sidewalks, old like the sidewalks, wiser now
We are tall like the buildings, strong like the buildings, skyward bound
Who am I to be?
Anything other than the city in me?

We are the way we are
We are the way we are
We ran away from where we couldn't stay
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
Who would I be without this city beneath my feet?

We grow green like the tree's here, we'll always be here
With or without leaves
Let's travel deep like the subway, far like the subway,
Far away from what we know

Who am I to be?
Anything other than the city in me?

We are the way we are
We are the way we are
We ran away from where we couldn't stay
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
Who would I be without this city beneath my feet?

Come here, towards all the bright lights, I'll be your night light, trust me
Don't go, don't let yourself down, know that right now, this is all yours
