Father was a boozer He liked to miss his job A looser & seducer Who was lost Mother tried her best She was broken and depressed But we had each other Always in this mess Tried to run, you looked far away I had to calm you, tell you to stay So I took you by the hand Together swum against the flood On the faith in which we stand Is our love (Oooh) Life was not as we’ve planned Coz we were born and raised in mud But we were strong, we were brave We were bound by our blood We wanted to get away Coz we were bound with all these lies Chained to all these numbing fears inside Without shackles on our heart We wanted to feel alive The starry skies were our home every night Tried to run, you looked far away I had to calm you, tell you to stay So I took you by the hand Together swum against the flood On the faith in which we stand Is our love (Oooh) Life was not as we’ve planned Coz we were born and raised in mud But we were strong, we were brave We were bound by our blood We will fade at the last golden sun Our shadows disappear and we’ll be one But we won’t pray Coz we know that’s what we had Together we were young, we were mad So I took you by the hand Together swum against the flood On the faith in which we stand Is our love (Oooh) Life was not as we’ve planned Coz we were born and raised in mud But we were strong, we were brave We were bound by our blood So I took you by the hand Together swum against the flood On the faith in which we stand Is our love (Oooh) Life was not as we’ve planned Coz we were born and raised in mud But we were strong, we were brave We were bound by our blood
