We are just shadows
Crawling through this muck called our lives
But I am hungry for your love
And I am starving for a better time
But that's all we got here
That's all we know
That's all we've become
Our recognition
Yeah well we be walking in
Some kind of direction
In a line with our right foot first
Yes we're waiting for some material heaven
That will, that will quench our, quench the thirst
But that's all we got here
That's all we know
That's all we've become
Our recognition
About holding my head high
I am struggling to breathe through all these
In between times
And I am wondering why
I am wondering why
And I was born into this place
That filters who we are
By what we have done
Yes I know I am a product of this institution
That's all I got yeah
That's all I know
That's all i've become
My recognition oh
And I don't know what to do
About holding my head high
I am struggling to breathe through all these
In between times
And I am wondering why
I am wondering why
