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
