We Are What We Are

Whatever makes me shiver
 and creeping on my way
 I'm staying on my path
 In all I've ever seen
 And all that crossed my heart
 I never lost my love
 Standing on the mountain
 I searched all corners of your place
 Till the night came down
 I've seen your mothers and your fathers
 The world from where you came
 But never saw your home
 And finally we are what we are
 What we will ever be
 A life full of science and knowledge
 But only as far as we can see
 and after all we came a long way
 But still the game remains the same
 A new world in our hearts and in our dreams
 But still too far away
 You didn't search the heavens
 Burned down the poisoned hope
 You did it on your own
 You learned the crossing over
 Reached this higher place
 You've got it all to come
 Go, set out for other places you have to go down with the sun
 I won't be your shepherd
 I won't go along with you
 But I'm on your side
 Go and tell your heart:
 "my hardest path's about to come
 walking on with pride
