Katie Costello - 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
