We Were Gods Lyrics - Jen Foster

Words by Jen Foster 

Music by Jen Foster & Danny Torroll 

Light the stars in your eyes 

Quiet doubts in your mind 

Follow me to the place where our colors bled 

The young, invincible ones 

Rockets aimed at the sun 

We never once questioned where we were going 

They called us all wrong, and they trashed all our songs 

They dressed us for church, and they threw us in blind 

We gathered our hands, and we turned towards the wind 

It was our time 

We were gods, we were gods 

We were gods, at least, we thought 

I will never forget 

Days we skipped out of class 

The subtle crash of a kiss still forbidden 

When time was our time to waste 

And love was ours to forsake 

And all our biggest mistakes gave us all our best stories 

We threw out the map, and we tossed up our caps 

We swore that we'd break every brick in that wall 

But it took all our breath when we found that they'd set us up 

To fall 

We were gods, we were gods 

We were gods, at least, we thought..... 

Before we were lawyers 

And homeless self-employers 

Before we crash-landed 

Into the sky... 

We were gods, we were gods
