We Were Raised Under Grey Skies

We were raised under Grey skies But you'll never hear us complain Oh, and father led the examples Of how to draw beauty from pain So I found a thousand springtimes in her eyes And I learned to play games in the rain Oh, when you left us you didn't really go I know you're watching me from my head to my toes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no And truth be told, everybody knows You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no I find the touch of your hand in the breeze And the light of your smile in sun rays You should know I hear the sound of your voice in music So I speak with you every day Oh, when you left us you didn't really go I know you're watching me from my head to my toes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no And truth be told, everybody knows You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no, ooh We have overcome 'cause of what you've done And it's plain to see that you're here with me We have overcome 'cause of what you've done And it's plain to see that you're here with me, oh, no When you left us you didn't really go I know you're watching me from my head to my toes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no And truth be told, everybody knows You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no When you left us you didn't really go I know you're watching me from my head to my toes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no And truth be told, everybody knows You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes And I will not go, I won't walk
