Father was a boozer
He liked to miss his job
A loser and seducer who was lost
Mother tried her best
She was broken and depressed
But we ha each other
Always in this mess

Tried to run, you looked far away
I had to calm you, tell you to stay

So I took you by the hand
Together swum against the flood
On the faith in which we stand
Is our love (woah)
Life was not as we've planned
'Cause we were born and raised in mud
But we were strong
We were brave
We were bound by our blood

We wanted to get away
'Cause we were bound
In all these lies
Chained to all these numbing fears inside
Without shackles on our heart
We wanted to feel alive
The starry skies were our home every night

Tried to run, you looked far away
I had to calm you, tell you to stay

So I took you by the hand
Together swum against the flood
On the faith in which we stand
Is our love (woah)
Life was not as we've planned
'Cause we were born and raised in mud
But we were strong
We were brave
We were bound by our blood

We will fade at the last golden sun
Our shadows disappear and we'll be one
But we won't pray
'Cause we know that's what we had
Together we were young
We were mad

So I took you by the hand
Together swum against the flood
On the faith in which we stand
Is our love (woah)
Life was not as we've planned
'Cause we were born and raised in mud
But we were strong
We were brave
We were bound by our blood
So I took you by the hand
Together swum against the flood
On the faith in which we stand
Is our love (woah)
Life was not as we've planned
'Cause we were born and raised in mud
But we were strong
We were brave
We were bound by our blood
