Mary Lambert - Sum of Our Parts (Alternate Version) lyrics

We were raised kings of nowhere
Didn't know the names of our fathers
Born knee deep in deep water
They said we'd never go anywhere
But look at you glowing in the dim light –
Knocked down but ready for a fist-fight
When they push, you push harder
No choice, gotta fight back every time

I want to know who ever broke you
I want to know how you can grow bigger
Don't go looking for some kind of rescue –
You are the only one who can save you

We are, we are more than our scars
We are, we are more than the sum of our parts
We are, we are more than our scars
We are, we are more than the sum of our parts

I spent years of my life with chipped teeth
In war paint waiting for someone to fix me
Come pick me up now
I'm on the corners of my city streets
I'm staring at the second chance
Eyes they forgot about

I burn bright i burn bright
