We Are The Way We Are

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
