Erin Mckeown - We Are More lyrics

This morning I saw a glimmer of hope In the eyes that I met at the door Of separate futures and confident sutures To the wounds that we have endured Oh, you hate the words of war, but baby Face it! That's what it's been for us We were never good fighters or very good soldiers But through this we are more It's Victorian this embroidering ordering and Sorting of memory to museum quality In a box we are, we are and we're art For the victims and tourists to see And this victory we're part of is part and Parameter of all that has come before We were never good fighters or very good soldiers But through this we are more What's the harm in ruins, reminds us of who We were in the darker times In the pieces of colonies, we'll find that we follow A church of our own design By our best, we're remembered, baptised we surrender By air, by water, by shore We were never good fighters or very good soldiers But through this we are more We are more We are more We are more We are more
