2nd class angels on a railway line
Let's see how they feel in the morning
The flowers fade at the edge of May
Like a dreamer who knows where they're going

The weight of the world is under your feet
Never enough, always too much
Peaceful and bored like some brothers of the wind
A feeling the sun could never touch.

Before they were us
We were them
They were us
We were them
They were us
We were them
We're all so grateful to be together
Just 21 miles from Bethlehem

Its too late change who i used to be
Some kind of radical hoping for the best
Visions of health and easy money
Always over thought and under dressed

A boomtown surrounds your head
On this path we may not pass again
It's out of touch now but every step brings you closer
To seeing who we are and we are them

Before they were us
We were them
They were us
We were them
They were us
We were them
We're all so grateful to be together
Just 21 miles from Bethlehem
