As I Lay Dying - This Is Who We Are Lyrics






Now this is who we are
I am no one's hero
For we are not the giant men
That some may think
You are faithful when we are not
So I'd like to tell this story
The way it is meant to be
Without the burden that's in our hearts
None of us would have ever found You
For You are faithful when we are not
You began a work
That only you can complete

Now this is who we are
I'll never know the answers
And I'll always wonder why

...Why we're given grace we'll never deserve
And a second chance that we will never earn
For there is nothing I can do to save myself

Now this is who we are
I'll never know the answers
And I'll always wonder why
But You have let me start again
I'd rather be called weak
Than die thinking I was strong

    A.... K....

    Been listening to this song almost 9 or 10 years now. I think the only lyrics I could make out were "This is who we are" then the chorus

  43. A.... K....

    I relate to this song so bad.

  44. J.... L....

    Listening in 2018 and this shit still slaps!

  63. T.... ....

    I love how this kind of music gets criticised all the time for hundreds of different reasons. The piano outro to this song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, period. It's astonishing and fucking gorgeous and I love it. Such as shame this band is no more.

  64. N.... A....

    Hail from Kuala Lumpur city,Malaysia.

  81. S.... R....

    puta esto si es música

  82. L.... M....

    I know how could Tim ruin everything that the bad has accomplished it's so ridiculous

  83. M.... ....

    my fingertips hurt now

    M.... ....

    The fuck are you even doing here?! :D

    M.... ....

    I guess playing guitar :)

  84. S.... H....

    imo what happened to Tim and the band is very sad. People may think he was always like that underneath but i know that's not true. What happened was the best thing to happen because his ex-wife is alive and now prison time may change him back to who he was. It's all part of Gods plan

    S.... H....

    +ShrapkiN That's your prerogative, but you relied more on ad hominem tactics yourself (logical fallacy) to make your point. It's not like you relied on logic, but good try.

    S.... H....

    relied? talking about relying on nothing, check out your first comment. nice try.

    S.... H....

    +ShrapkiN Hahaha. Yeah okay there, bud. You really got me! You don't believe what I do and that's fine. I'm not the one throwing out logical fallacies and name calling people who believe something different than me. Anyway, feel free to reply because I have better things to do than argue with a stranger over the internet. Feel free to have the last word since that's what you so desperately crave. God bless you!

    S.... H....

    I think you are right. When I listen to the lyrics, there is no way they were written in the flesh, they are too poignant and powerful for that. I pray for him and look forward to the new man God shall bring forth, out of the ashes . . .

    S.... H....

    God isn't real, it's a made up story to control people through their religious beliefs. Religion makes billions of dollars a year, yet we never see that money go anywhere.

  85. N.... M....

    There should be a 10h version of that piano ending. I could just listen to that thing on an endless loop

    N.... M....

    @Corey Lehman Enterprises 3:48-4:45 Thanks

    N.... M....

    @Akshay G It's going up in an hour

    N.... M....

    @Corey Lehman Enterprises thanks a lot man

    N.... M....

    @Akshay G it's uploading now guys

    N.... M....

    Remind me to create an extended version, this song is life

  86. J.... I....

    This song makes me want to hire a hitman to kill my wife

    J.... I....

    Your comment makes me want to hire a hitman to kill you. (See the obvious sarcasm).

    J.... I....

    Jajajaja

    J.... I....

    Not cool man

    J.... I....

    Not cool at all

  87. N.... ....

    As I Lay In Prison

    N.... ....

    You sound like a dying moose.

    N.... ....

    how does one get sound out of a comment made from text lmao

    N.... ....

    ahahaha!

    N.... ....

    It was a reference to the song from Austrian Death Machine (So Far, So Good, So Let's Talk About It) where Tim Lambesis, acting as Arnold Schwarzenegger says that the singer of As I Lay Crying sounds like a dying moose. Doesn't look like anyone got it ;).

    N.... ....

    😂😂😂💀💀💀

  88. F.... ....

    Great song

  89. T.... B....

    You are so right. Its just who we are. Anyways have a great day. Or whats left of it.

  90. T.... B....

    I just dont understand why there's not as many likes as views. Wtf.

    T.... B....

    +Tommy Biggers Because, sadly, most people just can't relate to excellent, meaningful, deep music.

    T.... B....

  91. Z.... A....
