lyrics

Can we make something from these ashes?
We lit matches that turned into a wildfire.
Student loans,
leaky homes
and on a good day,
I put away a dollar or two to save.
While on my newsfeed
are only things I don't need
about America's president
and the state of their government
While little ol' me
is just trying to get through the week.

But we are, we are
the ones who shape tomorrow
We've come so far
in spite of all our struggles
so sit back, let them judge
cos the world belongs to us
We will inherit the earth

Don't eat meat then you're an activist
cut out cheese and you're alternative
we're the top of the food chain
But I won't consume,
I refuse to fit the mould that you shove me into
so give it a label if it makes you comfortable
I don't see why you should care what's on my skin
or who's lying in my bed
take look at yourself instead

We are, we are
the ones who shape tomorrow
We've come so far
in spite of all our struggles
so sit back, let them judge
cos the world belongs to us
We will inherit the earth

We don't all have to be the same
I'm just saying that it's a shame
if we don't see the beauty in
A different face
a different name
a different God to pray to
cos at the end of the day
our graves all look the same

We are, we are
the ones who shape tomorrow
We've come so far
in spite of all our struggles
so sit back, let them judge
cos the world belongs to us
We will inherit the earth
