If We Wait Lyrics

Growing up on the streets that I love,
No-one sees us we're invisible,
Made the bones of us and strengthened my heart,
We were born and raised like animals,

We tried to find a better way of life,
But when it's right, it's right,

And if we counted every grain of sand,
I know it still wouldn't be enough,
It still wouldn't be enough,
And if we counted every waking hour,
I know it still wouldn't be enough,
It still wouldn't be enough,
If we wait too long,
We could be old before we know it,
If we wait too long,

All the puzzle pieces I'm trying to find,
Little do I know they're in front of my eyes,
I won't forget the streets that I leave behind,
'Cause who and what I am is clear in my mind,

We tried to find a better way of life,
But when it's right, it's right,

And if we counted every grain of sand,
I know it still wouldn't be enough,
It still wouldn't be enough,
And if we counted every waking hour,
I know it still wouldn't be enough,
It still wouldn't be enough,
If we wait too long,
We could be old before we know it,
If we wait too long,

We are what we are,
We are what we are,
We are what we are,
We are what we are,

And if we counted every grain of sand,
I know it still wouldn't be enough,
It still wouldn't be enough,
And if we counted every waking hour,
I know it still wouldn't be enough,
It still wouldn't be enough,
If we wait too long,
We could be old before we know it,
If we wait too long,
We could be old before we know,
If we wait too long,
We could be old before we know it,
If we wait too long.
