This is a version of Sum of Our Parts and is on the album ‘Heart On My Sleeve.’ Sum of Our Parts is about being able to break out of the pieces that make you up. Being able to escape your past and find your future. It’s all on you to break free and you have to fight your way free.
We were raised kings of nowhere
Didn't know the names of our fathers
Born knee-deep in deep water
They said we'd never go anywhere
But look at you glowing in the dim light –
Knocked down but ready for a fist-fight
When they push, you push harder
No choice, gotta fight back every time
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to know who ever broke you
I want to know how you can grow bigger
Don't go looking for some kind of rescue –
You are the only one who can save you
[Chorus]
We are, we are more than our scars
We are, we are more than the sum of our parts
We are, we are more than our scars
We are, we are more than the sum of our parts
I spent years of my life with chipped teeth, in war paint
Waiting for someone to fix me
Come pick me up now
I'm on the corners of my city streets
I'm staring at the second chance eyes they forgot about
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
I burn bright
I burn bright. (2x)
[Chorus]
