Ina Wroldsen - We Are Gonna Live Lyrics

I wish I was stronger
I wish I could trust in fate
Like when I was younger
And my grandma used to say
"Life is like a river, you're a boat
And someone will guide you"

I wish I was harder
I wish I could let shit go
Be more like my father
He's never afraid, he knows
Life is not a given, it's a gift
And he used to say that

One day we are gonna die
But all other days

We are gonna live
So enjoy your time
It's gonna be okay
We are gonna live
Put your fears aside
I can hear them say
We are gonna live
We are gonna live
We are gonna live

I don't know the answers
I couldn't sit here and say
That you should take chances
If where you are feels okay
Life is like a living organism
We only ride it

I'm always in armor
I'm cynical to the bone
I look to my mother
When I need to let things go
She's the reason I am where I am
And she always says that

One day we are gonna die
But all other days

We are gonna live
So enjoy your time
It's gonna be okay
We are gonna live
Put your fears aside
I can hear them say
We are gonna live
We are gonna live

We are gonna live
When your world goes cold
And you can't grab hold
We're gonna forgive
When you don't know why
Someone let you go
We are gonna live
We are gonna live

When you are lost
Put your hand on your heart
And just feel that power
The machine that you are
Can you hear them?
The voices that say

We are gonna live
And your time is now
Go and make it count
We are gonna live
I'ma lift my head
Because someone said

We are gonna live
So enjoy your time
It's gonna be okay
We are gonna live
Put your fears aside
I can hear them say
We are gonna live
We are gonna live

We are gonna live
When your world goes cold
And you can't grab hold
We gonna forgive
When you don't know why
Someone let you go
We are gonna live
We are gonna live
Oh, we are gonna live
