We Walk Together

[Verse 1] Iron birds cut through the clouds Light moves beneath the sea In the windows of a sleepless city Blue light gently flickers Every time we search for answers More questions come into view The lights of cities we have built Still shine upon someone’s shadow [Pre-Chorus] Some things can’t be reached By being right alone Some things can’t be saved By strength alone [Chorus] We were foolish We failed again Again and again Hurting others While carrying wounds And yet We made it this far And even now We keep on walking [Verse 2] Old photographs and distant laughter Memories thought to be gone In a room somewhere in the future A machine speaks with a familiar voice It remembers every story Every face and every name Yet somewhere in the silence Something it cannot explain But the warmth of a tear Can never truly be copied To love and to lose Their weight never changes [Pre-Chorus] Hatred alone Cannot sustain us Despair alone Cannot carry us forward [Chorus] We were foolish We failed again Again and again Hurting others While carrying wounds And yet We made it this far And even now We keep on walking [Bridge] A child From a distant future asks With a trembling voice Unlike any before “Is it okay For me to cry?” Unable to answer We stand frozen What is being tested Is not the machine It is us [Final Chorus] We were foolish We failed again Again and again Hurting others While carrying wounds And yet We made it this far And yet We never gave up Is the future still In our hands? The answer’s still Out in the wind And even now We keep on walking [Outro] If someone In the distant future Looks back on us Let them say We were foolish But let them say We listened When a lonely voice Asked a question No one had asked Before Leaving that answer To the wind And even now We walk together
