Hardwel feat. Amba Shepherd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one day in the life
So I can understand
Fighting just to survive
But you taught me I can
We are the lucky ones
We are, we are
Oh we are the lucky ones
We are, we are

Just one day in the life
So I can understand
Fighting just to survive
But you taught me I can
We are the lucky ones
We are, we are
Oh we are the lucky ones
We are, we are

We are the lucky ones
We are, we are




Oh we are the lucky ones
We are, we are
