We are searchlights,
We can see in the dark
We are rockets,
Pointed up at the stars

We are billions of
Beautiful hearts
And you sold us down
The river too far

What about us
What about all the times you
Said you had the answers
What about us
What about all the broken
Happy ever afters

What about us
What about all the plans
That ended in disaster
What about love
What about trust
What about us

We are problems that
Want to be solved
We are children that
Need to be loved

We were willing, we came
When you called
But many fooled us,
Enough is enough

What about us
What about us, what about
All the times you said you had
The answers
What about us
What about all the broken
Happy ever afters

What about us
What about all the plans
That ended in disaster
What about love
What about trust
What about us

What about us
What about all the plans
That ended in disaster
What about love
What about trust
What about us

Sticks and stones they may
Break these bones
But then I'll be ready,
Are you ready
It's a start of us waking up
Come on

Are you ready, I'll be ready
I don't want control,
I want to let go
Are you ready,
I'll be ready
Now it's time to
Let them know
Are you ready,
What about

What about us,
What about all the times you
Said you had the answers
So what about us
What about all the broken
Happy ever afters

What about us
What about all the plans
That ended in disaster
What about love
What about trust
What about us

What about us
What about us
What about us

What about us
What about us
What about us
