Cause we are

I breathe it in
I breathe it out —
the bitter smoke of my mistakes
the perfume of my past desire

I breathe it out
from my lungs and get it loud
untill somebody hears my song
untill somebody says: "you're a liar"

ch.:
from social lion to street messiah
we'll keep on dreaming 'cause we are
we'll keep on dreaming 'cause we are

from every ion to mount Zion
we'll keep believing because we are
cause we are

I keep my hopes up and down
I plant my diary in fertile ground
and I pray for no-one cares

my yeps and nopes
like funny seeds in Granny's envelopes 
they grow untill somebody hears my words
and no more scares
(in a sheltered place upstairs)

ch.:
from social lion to street messiah
we'll keep on dreaming 'cause we are
we'll keep on dreaming 'cause we are

from ion to Zion
from ion to Zion
we'll keep believing 'cause we are
from ion to Zion
from ion to Zion

because we are
because we are
because we are
