about

"WE WERE THE ONES" was the second song to be mastered for 21st Century Redemption Songs, in October 2010. It received widespread radio play and has been licensed as the soundtrack for many sports programmes.

lyrics

So tell me again, what it is
In your eyes that I see now when I look at you
That I know we’ll make it through
We don’t know, what it takes
But we learn from our mistakes and we’ll try again
And again to be so good

We were the ones who tried to make it
When we didn’t have the choice, we’d strike a deal
Not to be in denial, like a puppet on a string
We had a way of surviving anything
We were the ones
We were the ones

We met outside of the place
Where we’d go at night to hide our own disgrace
And that’s where I saw you
You said I don’t think a lot
Of anyone who tries to tell me what they got
It’s all the same to me

Lying trying much to hard to please
It’s a waste of life and it don’t make you free

We were the ones who tried to make it
When we didn’t have the choice, we’d strike a deal
Not to be in denial, like a puppet on a string
We had a way of surviving anything
We were the ones
We were the ones
