Marie Mused - Heirs to Those Before Lyrics

I've been thinking of the times
When we were young and full of life
And never closed our eyes
I would waste my time and ask
Those questions that I
Didn't know the answers to
And no one else would tell

You know that from the day we're born until the day we die
We're the sum of all the people in our lives
Heirs to those before us

I never ask those questions now
I guess I gave up long ago
And hoped the answers came
What's the point of wondering
When wonder only ceases
When we find ourselves
Behind these silent walls

Remembering the memories that shaped the girl I am
And I wonder if my dreams were all a sham
Are we just heirs to those before us

I never ask those questions now
I guess I gave up long ago
And hoped the answers came

Yet I think that all our answers ought to come from where we've been
From the people who have come through thick and thin
We are heirs to those before us
