Lyrics
Where are you today?
Do you know your way?
Are you searching for some mountains lost?
Just wanting your win at any cost?
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
(Ooh, ooh)
A young man walking this now blazed earth trail
Taught from childhood that he must never fail
His steadfast values and 'Our Necessary Wiles'
"Every stranger is your enemy, never smile"
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
Oh, our lives are shaped
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
Ooh, by what we love
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
Oh, and by what we do
(Ooh, ooh)
Oh, be true
Pick up your head and look around
Ain't nobody gonna be putting you down
Leave your body on the killing floor
Float and dream, and be free once more
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
Oh, our lives are shaped
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
Ooh, by what we love
(Our lives are shaped by what we love)
Oh, girl, and by what we do
(Ooh, ooh)
Oh, uh huh be true
Oh, girl, our lives are shaped
(Ooh, ooh)
Ooh, by what we do, yeah
