lyrics

Who we be
When we are
We will be
Who we are

Who we be
They don’t tell us
From the blur
They don’t tell us
On the radio
Always the same words
From the dazing light
Of timelessness

What we’ll be
They won’t tell us
We walk
In unconsciousness
No time for it
We say the same lines
If we’re all here
We all hear

Hear the morning rise
(Wake up to yourself)
Hear the morning rise
(Wake up to yourself)
I want to feel the sunshine
Of a glorious morning
(Hear the morning rise
Wake up to yourself)

Who we be
When we are
We will be
Who we are

What we are
Sick of the same words
Voices shutting
Chasing nothing
Not time for it
We get the same line
Talk to them
Voices sweeping

When we are
They don’t tell us
Tell the truth
No time to lie
Too many words
To fix the ending
If we’re all here
We all hear


Hear the morning rise
(Wake up to yourself)
Hear the morning rise
(Wake up to yourself)
I want to feel the sunshine
Of a glorious morning
(Hear the morning rise
Wake up to yourself)


Who we be
Who we be

We walk in line
Silent as dead men
Cannot pretend
Indifference
Was there any joy
In this dissolving pleasure
The sinning Devil
Laughs in my eye
I know one thing
We’re consumed with life
We free our instinct
To bare our conscience
No more muted senses
If we’re all here

Hear the morning rise
(Wake up to yourself)
Hear the morning rise
(Wake up to yourself)
I want to feel the sunshine
Of a glorious morning
(Hear the morning rise
Wake up to yourself)

Who we be
When we are
We will be
Who we are
