We Got Here Scared
Words and Music by Michael Roe and Steve Hindalong

Sometimes we find mercy down in the dark valley
We find ourselves free and unblamed
We’ll never return to the garden of innocence
Naked and unashamed
We got here scared
We’re all born cryin’
We got here scarred
We’re all born dyin’
Loved but not protected
Accepted then rejected
We got here scared
We got here scarred
Sometimes we dare to dive into fast rivers
Fearless that ever we drown
We dance on high cliffs hangin’ over the ocean
I don’t feel as brave as that now
We got here scared
We’re all born cryin’
We got here scarred
We’re all born dyin’
Loved but not protected
Accepted then rejected
We got here scared
We got here scarred
We got here scared
We got here scarred
Oh hey, ain’t we fortunate to be here?
Gasping for life when we arrived
And yes, it’s a blessing to be breathing
When we bleed we know we’re alive
We got here scared
We’re all born cryin’
We got here scarred
We’re all born dyin’
Loved but not protected
Accepted then rejected
We got here scared
We’re all born cryin’
We got here scarred
We’re all born dyin’
Loved but not protected
Accepted then rejected
We got here scared
We got here scarred…
