When I was new, when I was younger than I am
Too young to understand how free and lucky
How sweet and slow the minutes pass
I was fully convinced that it all would last until forever

Life fills up the glass like you’re beautiful and blessed
And if you’re awake enough you wonder
Is this privilege or is it chance
Or maybe fortune chose to smile on us
We the People

And we party ‘cause we’re free
And celebrate ‘cause we believe in these innocent wings

Bought with sweat and blood and love and
Bought with sweat and blood and love and
Pinned upon the shoulders of We The People
We The People are
Every woman, child and man living out the true romance of We The People
Learning how to do the dance of We the People
We the People believe

Take me back, give me everything I had
Just for one day I want to feel that way again
I want to hold you close with innocence
So I can feel it burning in my soul - tender glory

We just wanted to be free
And celebrate ‘cause we believe in these innocent wings

Bought with sweat and blood and love and
Bought with sweat and blood and love and
Pinned upon the shoulders of We The People
We The People are
Every woman, child and man living out the true romance of We The People
Learning how to do the dance of We the People
We the People believe

Now I know how easily it’s lost - I want to remember
And I know it’s all I ever want - I want it forever

And we party ‘cause we’re free
And celebrate ‘cause we believe in these innocent wings

Bought with sweat and blood and love and
Bought with sweat and blood and love and
Pinned upon the shoulders of We The People
We The People are
Every woman, child and man living out the true romance of We The People
Learning how to do the dance of We the People
We the People believe
