Makes Us Who We Are

His day starts just like his friends
There's no breakfast waiting for him
Gets himself ready and gets on the bus
Hides that he's hungry and don't have enough
He knows at school, he might be able
To get what life's left off the table
He knows his only option is not givin' up

Life ain't fair, but who says it should be?
Sometimes, to get where we're goin', we gotta see
You win some, you lose some
They can both leave scars
It's what you do with what you're given
We all make choices that lead to decisions
But it's all a part of what makes us who we are

All grown up, back from a war
That followed him home, askin' for more
He's breakin' down the walls that he built up
He won't give another inch, he's had enough

Life ain't fair, but who says it should be?
Sometimes, to get where we're goin', we gotta see
You win some, you lose some
They can both leave scars
It's what you do with what you're given
We all make choices that lead to decisions
It's all a part of what makes us who we are

Life ain't fair, but who says it should be?
Sometimes, to get where we're goin', we gotta see
You win some, you lose some
They can both leave scars
It's what you do with what you're given
We all make choices that lead to decisions
It's all a part of what makes us who we are

It makes us who we are
