Here We Are লিরিক্স

I was born into a family of four brothers But my mother and my father never liked each other My mother always said that she was sick of it When I was eight years old my father just split Never heard from him again until I was ten I got a letter from down in Texas in the state pen Everybody said "those boys won't get very far" I said "what would you know about where we are" Here we are Where we are and you know it's been a long way down But I took the fall And I learned to climb Before I could crawl With my R-E-S-P-E-C-T And they never cuold take that from me I had to get out of the house when I was sixteen There was nothing there for me, if you know what I mean There was a deeper shade of soul I could not relate to Just lie back and let your song medicate you and life is sad but it's beautiful I heard a voice from far away say "Every word is true" That's is why I try to give it away to you here we are Where we are And you know it's been a long way down But I took the fall And I learned to climb Before I could crawl With my R-E-S-P-E-C-T And they never could take that from me Well, I was born into a family of four brothers We learned to laugh, we learned to cry To sing all night . . . rise with the sun and you know I never wanted to be the one to tell you Everything would be all right And would you believe me if I did? Or didn't turn around and come back to holy ground Cuz' life ain't much of livin' when you gron up on this side of town And the wind was all I wanted But we can't ge that around here I won't stand here forever Weighed down by my fear and oh, say it isn't so... That I'm just like you, you're just like me But that ain't so bad
