What We Become - Horse Feathers

It’s not what we became

But what we become

It’s not all of the parts

Or their sum

The cruel they can be kind

The true can lie

Is it not how much you love

But how much you try?

Ashamed of being wrong

But righteously wild

Afraid of wasting a lifetime

Being a child

When I’m out of my mind

I do as I please

I won’t get down on my luck

Or down on my knees

It’s not what we became

But what we become

It’s right under our nose

And under our thumbs

The words they can be clear

As much as they can be cold

Is it not all that you heard

But all that you’re told?

Ashamed of being wrong

But righteously wild

Afraid of wasting a lifetime

Being a child

When I’m out of my mind

I do as I please

I won’t be down on my luck

Or down on my knees
