Who We Are
First live performance: April 4th, 2010 at The Big Dance.

A part of this song was played in the Inner Machine studio cam, episode 16.

That formula is reflected on the new CD's "One Night," an uptempo rocker that examines modern culture's focus on superficiality at the expense of truth. The song begs, "You told me that the scars you bare are beautiful and real/ so turn the lights back on together and see the things you feel."

Lyrics

God, you still amaze me when
You speak to me that way
The sound of your voice
The look in your eyes
You stand there in your grace
You told me that the scars you bear
Are beautiful and real
So turn the lights back on again
I wanna see the things you feel

We’ve got one night
To let the whole world know
Just how perfect we can be
Close your eyes and then you’ll see
We’ve got one night
To let the whole world know
Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we’ll show them who we are

I feel it when you’re near me
And I know when you’re not there
When I'm on the edge
And so alone
And no one seems to care
You reach out and pull me back
And love me till I’m free
All the joy in my life I feel I've lost
You see inside of me

Your life's a song I'll sing
It doesn’t matter anymore
If anyone is listening to me
'Cause you move like light
And descend on me
Gently moving through my life
