Ohh woo ooh
These roads never end, 'til they reach the water
Then in and out, sons and daughters
When you find your way, drifting through your stays
You take the mess you made
And I don't care where you come from or
What your mamma taught you
All we are is, what we leave behind
These roads never end, 'til they reach the water
Then in and out, mothers and fathers
You are not alone, proofs in the flesh and bone
Young eyes watching you
And I don't care where you come from or
What your papa taught you
All we are is, what we leave behind
Will you burn it to the ground?
Bury what can be found?
In the soil under the sun?
In the midst of all the chaos callin'
Will you run oh God the way from falling?
I don't care where, you come from or
What your mama taught you
All the rest is, right or wrong though
Real bound to follow
All we are is what we leave behind
All we are is what we leave behind
