We Were Raised Under Grey Skies

[Verse 1]

We were raised under Grey skies

But you'll never hear us complain

Oh, and father led with examples

Of how to draw beauty from pain

So I found a thousand springtimes in her eyes

And I learned to play games in the rain

[Chorus]

Oh, when you left us you didn't really go

I know you're watching me from my head to my toes

And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no

And truth be told, everybody knows

You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes

And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no

[Verse 2]

I find the touch of your hand in the breeze

And the light of your smile in sun rays

You should know I hear the sound of your voice in music

So I speak with you every day

[Chorus]

Oh, when you left us you didn't really go

I know you're watching me from my head to my toes

And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no

And truth be told, everybody knows

You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes

And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no, ooh

[Bridge]

We have overcome 'cause of what you've done

And it's plain to see that you're here with me

We have overcome 'cause of what you've done

And it's plain to see that you're here with me, oh, no

[Chorus]

When you left us you didn't really go

I know you're watching me from my head to my toes

And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no

And truth be told, everybody knows

You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes

And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no

When you left us you didn't really go

I know you're watching me from my head to my toes

And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no

And truth be told, everybody knows

You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes

And I will not go, I won't walk
