[Verse 1]
It's not the clothes that we buy
Or the tears that we cry
No matter how hard we try
One day we all die
I feel the wind through my coat
Like the drafts that I wrote
It's the story of a boy you'll never know

[Chorus]
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
And our words define our soul
Like a portrait etched in stone
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
If the past is all we know
Then the future's ours to own
Like a portrait etched in stone

[Verse 2]
All the things in our mind
That we can't leave behind
No matter how high we soar
We always want more
I feel the crash and the burn
Coming on like a storm
But if we just stay kind the kids will be fine
[Chorus]
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
And our words define our soul
Like a portrait etched in stone
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
If the past is all we know
Then the future's ours to own
Like a portrait etched in stone

[Bridge]
Push and fight will all your might
Never lose sight
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
Time ticks by
You live, you die
Try to be kind
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
Flesh and bone

[Chorus]
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
Our words define our soul
Like a portrait etched in stone
'Cause we're just flesh and bone
If the past is all we know
Then the future's ours to own
Like a portrait etched in stone
