Lyrics
His skin was stained with stories of pain
But he wanted to change…will you let him?
Do you believe? He’s asked for forgiveness
In his daughter’s name, can you forget him?
Do people live forever imprisoned by a state
Nothing could be done to earn a little grace
Did you think we couldn't get this far?
This is who we are, this is who we are
And did you think we couldn't get this far?
This is who we are, this is who we are
Inciteful words, realities blurred
She wants to be heard…do we let her?
Is she condemned? When the damage is done she holds regrets
Can she do better?
Do people live forever imprisoned by a state
Nothing could be done to earn a little grace
And did you think we couldn't get this far?
This is who we are, this is who we are
Did you think we couldn't get this far?
This is who we are, this is who we are
We might be buried in pain but these are times of change
With the waters of grace
We can rise again
Did you think we couldn't get this far?
This is who we are, this is who we are
And did you think we couldn't get this far?
This is who we are, this is who we are
And did you think we couldn't get this far?
This is who we are, this is who we are
