As We Are
Met the man whose eyes were hollow
The child, her body bare
The sun, a burning question
The day, we didn't care
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could say
Broken as we are
We carried her away
The light is growing dim
Like the iris of her eye
She troubled me for answers
But I knew it was hard to lie
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could say
Broken as we are
We carried her away
And the sky was thick with doom
And no one knew
And no one moved
And the sky was thick with doom
And nothing grew
And nothing grew
We climed the highest high
Looked out across the sea
Tiny as we are
We gathered out to sea
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could say
Broken as we are
We carried her away
And the sky was thick with doom
And no one knew
And no one moved
And the sky was thick with doom
We were fools
Yeah we were fools
Rise up fighting; rise up singing
Rise up fighting; rise up singing
Rise up fighting; rise up singing
Rise up fighting
Rise up fighting; rise up singing
The child, her body bare
The sun, a burning question
The day, we didn't care
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could say
Broken as we are
We carried her away
The light is growing dim
Like the iris of her eye
She troubled me for answers
But I knew it was hard to lie
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could say
Broken as we are
We carried her away
And the sky was thick with doom
And no one knew
And no one moved
And the sky was thick with doom
And nothing grew
And nothing grew
We climed the highest high
Looked out across the sea
Tiny as we are
We gathered out to sea
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could say
Broken as we are
We carried her away
And the sky was thick with doom
And no one knew
And no one moved
And the sky was thick with doom
We were fools
Yeah we were fools
Rise up fighting; rise up singing
Rise up fighting; rise up singing
Rise up fighting; rise up singing
Rise up fighting
Rise up fighting; rise up singing
