We are the poets, we are the dreamers We are the soldiers, we are the screamers We are the fallen to rise again We are the lovers, we are the cynics We're the hours, we are the minutes We are all friends in the end So why be alive if you don't follow your every dream? Reach up to Heaven and stand for what you believe We don't need wings to be angels We don't need reasons to be right Your love makes us all better That's who we really are Angels and heroes at heart We are the givers, we are receivers We are confessors, we are believers We are the strange familiar face We are afraid and so we follow We are underpaid and so we borrow We mine for tears, but much too late So why can't we open hearts, open our minds? Forgiving is easy for You will come if we open our eyes We don't need wings to be angels We don't need reasons to be right Your love makes us all better That's who we really are We don't need sleep to be dreamers We don't need to have tears in our eyes Your love makes us all better That's who really are Angels and heroes at heart Oh, I know it seems easier to run and hide And to bury your emotions in the dark of night But it's worth the fight Worth the fight Just aim for the light We don't need wings to be angels We don't need reasons to be right Your love makes us all better That is who we are We don't need sleep to be dreamers We don't need to have tears in our eyes Your love makes us all better And that is who we are Angels and heroes
