We Are Not What We Own

They opened the road
 That cuts through the town
 And I drove slowly by
 And the guard waved me on
 Now I'm not from this town
 But I live very near
 And when I saw the destruction
 My eyes started to tear
 I asked a young woman
 How she could smile with no home
 She said, there's no need for weeping
 For we are not what we own
 We are not what we own
 We are not what we own
 We can replace wood and stone
 We are not what we own
 It was an old and proud city
 And the trees towered high
 But they're almost all gone now
 They've been replaced by the sky
 The people were out
 The husbands and wives
 Though some lost their homes
 Most escaped with their lives (saying)
 We are not what we own
 We are not what we own
 We can replace wood and stone
 We are not what we own
 The sky huffed and puffed
 And it blew our houses down
 But in the rubble of a city
 A community was found
 We are not what we own
 We are not what we own
 We can replace wood and stone
 We are not what we own
