With The Wind On Our Faces
[Verse 1]
We conquered with tongues and where we came from
Said, "We are strong"
But I was too young, I was dreaming life away
We woke up to pray with the wind in our faces
Drunk on our greatness
But I was too young, I was living separated
[Verse 2]
We took to the streets, carved the word on our feet
Is it truth that we bring?
But I became changed from the things that I could see there
Saw a room full of sons and daughters unloved
Reaching out for someone to come pick them up
But I was too young, they could have grown up next to me then
[Verse 3]
I felt the wind in the trees above chains around feet
But I could not breathe
With all of the hurt that was buried like a seed there
Saw a hideous frame for a girl with a name
But in that moment we sang, "You are a pearl"
And I became changed, I could look her in the face now
[Chorus]
I could look her in the face now
I could look her in the face now
I could look her in the face now
I could look her in the face now
I could look her in the face now
I could look her in the face now
I could look her in the face now
I could look her in the face now
