"We Are" lyrics - JON BATISTE

The ghetto is full of stars
Watch them shine from afar
On days when it's hard
And always
Nana knows how to sing
And soothes us all
From summer to fall
And always

[Pre-Chorus:]
Joy
She won't let it go
Oh no
Joy
That she doesn't know
What she doesn't know

[Chorus:]
We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones
We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones
We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones
We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones

We're never alone, no, no
We're never alone

The country is full of stars
But they're in a war
Blind in the dark
He's hoping to medicate
The painful ache
To change his fate

[Pre-Chorus:]
Joy
He won't let it go
Oh no
Joy
That he doesn't know
What he doesn't know

[Chorus:]
We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones
We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones
We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones
We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones

We're never alone, no, no
We're never alone

[Interlude]

And then I said uh
"Neither angel or a king could break this thing"
"We gotta get our soul in order"
"Get that inner peace, you know"
"Hahahaha"
"Ain't nothing... man cannot give you that!"

1, 2, ready and...

[Bridge:]
We are never alone
We are never, never alone
We are never alone

[Chorus:]
We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones (We're never alone, no, no)
We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones (We're never alone, no, no)
We are, we are, we are, we are the chosen ones (We're never alone, no, no)
We are, we are, we are, we are the golden ones (We're never alone, no, no)
