"All That We Are" lyrics

"All That We Are"

I see buildings on horizons
Spreading out for miles and miles around
I saw the Mother of Invention
In a state with Mother Nature's son
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Who's the emperor in new clothes?
Who's the weaver at the bank man's side?
Spinning lies to satisfy those
Who prefer to turn a blind eye
I don't wanna look for meaning
In the belly of a whale
I don't wanna kill the feeling
We only keep the limitations that we fight for

All that we are
Is a wish upon a star
We go wayward, wayward
All that we are
Losing control of the car
Pushing onward, onward, yeah

Who's addicted to the quick fix
Hoping that a magic pill exists
Kamikaze comfort zones increase
We're stuck to phones but disconnected

I don't wanna fear your future
I don't wanna let us down
Every student is a teacher
Get connected and we'll see just who is learning

All that we are
Is a wish upon a star
We go wayward, wayward
All that we are
Losing control of the car
Pushing onward, onward

Walking on a path once paved with gold
Following a fable, truth be told
Are we unable?
I just don't know
Well, I don't know

All that we are
Is a wish upon a star
We go wayward, wayward
All that we are
Losing control of the car
Pushing onward, onward, yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
