Who We Are
Embracing Life's Storms: Jake Carter's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
We're changing for the better
We're evolving positively.
It's just a storm we have to weather
Difficulties and challenges we must endure.
Oh the bruises and the scars
Physical and emotional marks from experiences.
That make us who we are
These marks shape our identity.
It's hard to be so positive when the world around you's so dark
Remaining optimistic in a bleak environment is tough.
But if our world was full of light then we'd never get to see the stars
Struggles are necessary for appreciating success.
All the hopes that we have for this life weigh heavy on our hearts
Aspirations burden us emotionally.
It's not the highs but the hard times, they make us who we are
Challenges forge our character more than successes.
Drift, mould, redesign, grow up but don't grow old
Adapt, transform, mature, but retain youthful spirit.
Were caught in a mundane 9 to 5 doing exactly what we're told
Trapped in a routine dictated by societal norms.
But What if we decide to break-away from the stupid lies that were sold?
Questioning and rejecting imposed falsehoods.
Is life just one long, lonely path, chasing after gold?
Wondering if life solely revolves around material wealth.
We're changing for the better it's just a storm we have to weather
Reiteration of positive change amidst challenges.
Cause when the rain falls lately all it seems to do is break me
Recent hardships feel overwhelming.
We're fighting for tomorrow through all the pain and sorrow
Striving for a better future despite pain.
Cause it's the bruises and the scars that make us who we are
Our scars define our identity.
Sit me in a crowded room and I still feel so alone
Feeling isolated even in a crowded space.
All these faces blankly stare at whatever shit is on their phone
Observing people absorbed in technology.
Have we got nothing better to do than swipe and like and scroll?
Questioning the significance of digital interactions.
And fight with a random stranger like a keyboard warrior troll
Engaging in meaningless online conflicts.
Im told my dreams are too far to reach to "get a real job son"
Discouraged from pursuing ambitious dreams.
Especially now the world's a mess but I'm not the only one
Shared struggle due to global turmoil.
Theres Thousands out there on the firing lines just fighting to survive
Many enduring hardship for survival.
But the real fight, is inside of us just keeping these dreams alive
Inner battles crucial to preserving aspirations.
We're changing for the better it's just a storm we have to weather
Emphasizing positive change despite challenges.
Cause when the rain falls lately all it seems to do is break me
Recent difficulties feel overwhelming once more.
We're fighting for tomorrow through all the pain and sorrow
Striving for a better future despite ongoing pain.
Cause it's the bruises and the scars that make us who we are
Our scars and hardships define us.
Who we are, who we are, who we are
Reiteration of the importance of scars shaping identity.
Who we are, who we are, who we are
-So et's take a step back remember that all that's lost is not forgotten
-Its not too late to bend and break this broken society
-We're changing for the better it's just a storm we have to weather
-Cause when the rain falls lately all it seems to do is break me
-We're fighting for tomorrow through all the pain and sorrow
-Cause it's the bruises and the scars that make us who we are
-Who we are, who we are, who we are
-Who we are, who we are, who we are
-We're changing for the better it's just a storm we have to weather
Underlining the transformative power of adversity.
Oh the bruises and the scars that make us who we are
Emphasizing that our scars define our identity.
