We are all made perfectly: sculpted individually to show our true beauty. No matter how we got here or where we are, our goal is to live life to the fullest. Even if the entire world can see we’re broken down, it’s up to us to understand that it’s not the end. Instead we should stand up and shout out to all existence and proclaim our happiness. This is our duty as human beings; this is our rightful place in life. This is What We Are.

We forgot how to talk to each other, It's like waking up and forgetting how to tie your shoes. I miss you more than you know, You were never forgotten, Only a little misunderstood. You really need to stop your crying, I can't take anymore. I'll always be here for you, and I swear to God that I never went anywhere. You will never be replaced, Because as long as I'm alive I'll be right here. Since the day that I met you, we hit it off just fine, and our friendship is a fate we will never escape. I'll bet you twenty dollars this is just a test of loyalty, and we're doing just fine, We're doing just fine. I'll always be here for you, and I swear to God that I never went anywhere. You will never be replaced, Because as long as I'm alive I'll be right here. I'll be right here. Show of hands if you've ever lost a friend, and you need them more than life. (Don't you ever say goodbye. I can't bare to see you go.)

All these faces passing by mirage my mind of passing time. We went from sing-a-longs and lullabies, to smoking cigarettes to pass the time. What is life when we’re hypnotized? Remember the beautiful things; they’re all that keeps us alive and keeps us from losing our minds. Take the time to admire the beautiful things in life. You don’t have to be old to be wise just remember that life’s on your side. Not everyone is an enemy. Remember the beautiful things; they’re all that keeps us alive and keeps us from losing our minds. Remember the beautiful things; they're all that keeps us alive and keeps us from losing our minds. Take the time to admire the beautiful things in life.

Life is a never ending cycle, Like water and the rain. My tears are falling, Into a casket with no name. Too young to die. Too young to pass away. The Seventh Year of a life not fully lived. You're far gone, yet right before my eyes. Why would God take a child away? Your voice, it spreads out like fire. And your death put out the flame. Songs and memories, are all that's left to send you to the grave. Rest in peace my friend. Too young to die. Too young to pass away. The Seventh Year of a life not fully lived. You're far gone, yet right before my eyes. Why would God take a child away? Your voice, it spreads out like fire. And your death put out the flame. Songs and memories, are all that's left to send you to the grave.

What We Are 04:55
This is your time; this is your exodus for a brand new start, so where will you go? This is your chance to let go of everything that held you back from moving on. What are you afraid of? Leave your past behind with your former years and chase the stars. This is the end of everything you wanted to let go of. Fill your heart with new excitements and adventures. Just like the leaves changing colours, turn the page of life to a brand new chapter and don’t look back. We’re moving on to better places, and we can’t move on if we just can’t let go. You’ve lost your mind trying to change the skies. Don’t change a thing. This is What We Are. Let your life be a testament to never giving up and never giving in. A new revelation; shape your life in anyway you want to and just let go. We’re moving on to better places, and we can’t move on if we just can’t let go. You’ve lost your mind trying to change the skies. Don’t change a thing. This is What We Are. This is what we could have always been if we wanted to. The only thing that held us back was the decision to be happy and move on. We’re moving on to better places, and we can’t move on if we just can’t let go. You’ve lost your mind trying to change the skies. Don’t change a thing. This is What We Are.
