We Were Raised Under Grey Skies

LETRA

We Were Raised Under Grey Skies

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

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

I found the touch of your hand in the breeze
And the light of your smile in the sun rays
You should know I hear the sound of your voice in music
So I speak with you every day

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 oh

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

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 without,
I won't walk without you, no
