I Should Be Born: Lyrics
Labels warning to use with permission
Look inside of me: conflicts, conditions
Don't lose sight of the lessons you're given
No sign or prescription can make you young again
All looks well if you just know the outside
Hide the tears that get shed in the nighttime
Don't lose sight of the map and the seasons
Let go of conditions that steal your mind away
Living on an island
Take your time when
Walking on the water
'Cause now we're running from our homes
One side of me knows where the path went
I could lead but I'm too inconsistent
Don't lose sight of the eyes that you're given
No conflicts, conditions can take your sight away
Living on an island
Take your time when
Walking on the water
'Cause now we're running from our homes
You were drowning when you should have flown
I've been dying when I should be born
I should be born
If you struggle in logic and feeling
Generational gaps are revealing
Don't lose sight of the ones who have loved you
You're only as strong as the love that built you
Labels warning to use with permission
Look inside of me: conflicts, conditions
Don't lose sight of the lessons you're given
No sign or prescription can make you young again
All looks well if you just know the outside
Hide the tears that get shed in the nighttime
Don't lose sight of the map and the seasons
Let go of conditions that steal your mind away
Living on an island
Take your time when
Walking on the water
'Cause now we're running from our homes
One side of me knows where the path went
I could lead but I'm too inconsistent
Don't lose sight of the eyes that you're given
No conflicts, conditions can take your sight away
Living on an island
Take your time when
Walking on the water
'Cause now we're running from our homes
You were drowning when you should have flown
I've been dying when I should be born
I should be born
If you struggle in logic and feeling
Generational gaps are revealing
Don't lose sight of the ones who have loved you
You're only as strong as the love that built you
