This Is Who We Are

Oh until this beginning’s end
we will run
we will run
we won’t stop until all is whole again

Oh and until this ending begins
we will see
we will see
these broken hearts back on the mend

Oh this is who we are
oh this distance to another star
the bridge is crossed
built on all we’ve won and lost
on the search for love
like a cosmic river up above
never thought I’d see so far
this is who we are

Oh until all this burning cools
we will fall
we will fall
we won’t stop even though we’re low on fuel

Oh and until this cooling burns
we will find
we will find
these broken hearts begin to stir

Oh this is who we are
oh this distance to another star
the bridge is crossed
built on all we’ve won and lost
on the search for love
like a cosmic river up above
never thought I’d see so far
this is who we are

Oh and until we learn to bend
we will break
we will break
hearts like kindling until one day we’ll awaken
to ashes smoldering in our souls like supernova stars
and we’ll wonder if this is who we really are

“Social progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability.” MLK

Souls, I liked the love story here..with
the premise of a cosmic river, & another star.
