| Nobody ever tried to rescue us
|
| They only ever tried to sabotage
|
| Said it was ashes and dust for us
|
| Dug up the dirt for a burial plot
|
| We weren’t supposed to ever make it this far
|
| Stuck in a world trying to tear us apart
|
| We get even when we beat the odds
|
| For you and I this is just the start
|
| (Pre-chorus)
|
| They did not think we would still be here
|
| But together we made the way clear
|
| We came out of the wreckage, wreckage, wreckage
|
| Not a scratch, not a mark, no not a blemish
|
| Oh we were used and abused and neglected
|
| We made it through the wreckage
|
| They forgot about us, we’re children of the wreckage
|
| Under the rubble they ignored our calls
|
| Told everybody it was a false alarm
|
| Thought we were doomed when they saw us free-fall
|
| But didn’t I tell you we could never be harmed
|
| As long as there’s life we’ll always fight
|
| And we’ve been fighting for all our lives
|
| If we’re buried in dark we’ll reach that light
|
| 'Cause you and I, we were born to survive
|
| (Pre-chorus)
|
| (Bridge)
|
| We are the miracle; |
| they forgot about us, forgot about us |
| We are still here, we are; |
| they forgot about us, forgot about us
|
| We are the miracle; |
| they forgot about us, forgot about us
|
| We are still here we are; |
| they forgot us, we’re children of the wreckage
|
| (Break Down)
|
| Wreckage, wreckage, wreckage
|
| Forgot about us, forgot about us
|
| Wreckage, wreckage, wreckage
|
| They forgot about us |
