"Flesh And Bone" lyrics

It's not the clothes that we buy or the tears that we cry.
No matter how hard we try, one day we all die.
I feel the wind through my coat like the drafts that I wrote.
It's the story of a boy you'll never know.

'Cause we're just flesh and bone.
Our words define our soul like a portrait etched in stone.
'Cause we're just flesh and bone.
If the past is all we know, then the future's ours to own like a portrait etched in stone.

All the things in our mind that we can't leave behind.
No matter how high we soar, we always want more.
I feel the crash and the burn coming on like a storm.
But if we just stay kind, the kids will be fine.

'Cause we're just flesh and bone.
Our words define our soul like a portrait etched in stone.
'Cause we're just flesh and bone.
If the past is all we know, then the future's ours to own like a portrait etched in stone.

Push and fight will all your might.
Don't ever lose sight 'cause we're just flesh and bone.
Flesh and bone.
Time ticks by. You live, you die.
Try to be kind 'cause we're just flesh and bone.
Flesh and bone.

'Cause we're just flesh and bone.
Our words define our soul like a portrait etched in stone.
'Cause we're just flesh and bone.
If the past is all we know, then the future's ours to own like a portrait etched in stone.
