Who We Are

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bullied from the moment we were born
We were always on our own
No one ever said we should be proud
Or embrace the fact of standing out
For too long we just played along
Always putting up a show
But that was then, look at us now
All we want is for them to know

We are who we are
And who we are is who we want to be
We don't have to listen
'Cause all that counts is you and me

And then we're rising when we fall, oh, oh
In the middle of the storm
We're standing tall, oh, standing tall
And if they tell us why we're wrong, oh, oh
Then the love in our hearts will keep us strong, oh, oh

Uh listen up. Listen up
It's me, Jenny B, what you get is what you see
As for Jess over here, she's a special VIP
So you better listen carefully
If they dissin' you on Twitter
Don't get sad, don't be bitter, don't give up and be a quitter
Show them you're better (Yeah, hell no)
If they say so, get in the car, rev it up, and be it a star
'Cause you know who exactly who we are
Give it to 'em, Jess

We are who we are (yeah)
And who we are is who we want to be
We don't have to listen (don't listen)
'Cause all that counts is you and me (hey, hey, hey, hey)

And then we're rising when we fall, oh, oh
In the middle of storm
We're standing tall, oh standing tall (this is who we are)
And if they tell us why we're wrong, oh, oh (we will march onward, spreading the love)
Then the love in our hearts will keep us strong, oh, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)

They can make it silent
But in our hearts we'll never be

And then we're rising when we fall, oh, yeah (yeah, yeah)
In the middle of the storm
We're standing tall, oh, we're standing tall

And if they tell us why we're wrong, oh, oh, yeah
Then the love in our hearts will keep us strong, oh, oh

Bullied from the moment we were born
We have faced rejection and hardship since birth

We were always on our own
We had to rely on ourselves from the start

No one ever said we should be proud
We were never encouraged to be confident in ourselves

Or embrace the fact of standing out
We were not taught to celebrate our uniqueness

For too long we just played along
We pretended to be someone we were not for a while

Always putting up a show
We acted a certain way to please others

But that was then, look at us now
But things have changed and we have grown

All we want is for them to know
All we desire is for others to recognize us for who we truly are

We are who we are
We are unique and true to ourselves

Lyrics:

Don’t tell the gods I left a mess
I can’t undo what has been done
Let’s run for cover

What if I’m the only hero left?
You better fire off your gun
Once and forever

He said go dry your eyes
And live your life like there is no tomorrow, son
And tell the others

To go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard

We are the heroes of our time
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds

We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…

We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…

The crickets sing a song for you
Don’t say a word, don’t make a sound
It’s life’s creation

I make worms turn into butterflies
Wake up and turn this world around
In appreciation

He said I never left your side
When you were lost I followed right behind
Was your foundation

Now go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
Now sing together

We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…

We are the heroes
(We keep dancing with the demons)
(You could be a hero)

Now go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
Now sing together

We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…

We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…

We are the heroes
