What you see
Are you still wondering?
You can't be afraid to make mistakes
We are
We are who we are
We are
And nothing can break us
And nothing can hold us down
Cause we are who we are
This can't be happening
You mean too much to me
We can't be afraid to make mistakes
We are
We are who we are
We are
We are who we are
And nothing can break us
And nothing can hold us down
Everytime you scream
You make no sound
Reaching out for help
No ones around
I'll be around
They're leaving us
And just take the time to notice
Nothing can break us
Nothing can hold us down
We are
We are who we are
We are
We are who we are
And nothing can break us
And nothing can hold us down
Nothing can break us
Nothing can hold us down
Cause we are who we are
Cause we are who we are
Cause we are who we are
The lyrics of Tupelo Honey's song "We Are" are an anthem to self-acceptance and self-empowerment. The song begins with an invitation to look inwardly and examine oneself without fear of making mistakes. The repeated refrain emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and not allowing external factors to bring about self-doubt or cause one to stray from their sense of identity. The lines "Everytime you scream, You make no sound, Reaching out for help, No ones around" express a feeling of isolation and helplessness that can occur when one feels lost or uncertain about their place in the world. The song concludes on an uplifting note with the repeated affirmation that nothing can break or hold down the individual who embraces their true self.
