We Are

We are the love of strangers

that say a silent prayer

We are the love of mothers

that taught our hearts to care

We are, we are

We are the patients and

the sacrifice of yesterday

The silence in between the breaths

of all the words we say

We are, we are

Ooh...

We are the proof of life,

how our ancestors gave

We are the proof of love

from the cradle to the grave

We are, we are

We are the best of struggles

that we won't have to bear

We are the heir to all the prayers

that float upon the air

We are, we are, we are

Ooh...

We are the seed of children that

may never know our names

We are the peace of people

that won’t bow their heads in shame

We are, we are

We walk upon the Earth,

we knock on heaven's door

We are the life that teems

along the deepest ocean floor

We are, we are, we are

Ooh...

The present, the past,

the future days to come

The alpha, the omega,

we are everything in one

We are, we are

Ooh, we are
