We Are The Way We Are lyrics

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
