Flesh And Bone

It's not the clothes that we buy or the tears that we cry
No matter how hard we try, one day we all die
I feel the wind through my coat like the drafts that I wrote
It's the story of a boy you'll never know

'Cause we're just flesh and bone
Our words define our soul like a portrait etched in stone
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
If the past is all we know, then the future's ours to own like a portrait etched in stone

All the things in our mind that we can't leave behind
No matter how high we soar, we always want more
I feel the crash and the burn coming on like a storm
But if we just stay kind, the kids will be fine

'Cause we're just flesh and bone
Our words define our soul like a portrait etched in stone
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
If the past is all we know, then the future's ours to own like a portrait etched in stone

Push and fight will all your might
Don't ever lose sight 'cause we're just flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
Time ticks by. You live, you die
Try to be kind 'cause we're just flesh and bone
Flesh and bone

'Cause we're just flesh and bone
Our words define our soul like a portrait etched in stone
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
If the past is all we know, then the future's ours to own like a portrait etched in stone
