So You're Born

Hazel O'Connor


So you're born, so you're torn 
From a place that's safe and warm 
I took a journey to see a world 
And you're born 
And you're torn 
So you're pulled from pillar to post 
And you're told it's best to be the one who knows the most 
Yet the more I know, I know nothing 
Nothing at all 
Yeh, you're born 
I met a man, who sung a song 
And the know-it-intellects said each note was wrong 
It made me happy, that's enough 
So why did they give that man a rough time 
Born 
Torn 
I have no memory for what I do 
It's just a feeling, that I give to you 
Yeh, the more I know, I know nothing 
Nothing at all 
Yeh, and you're born 
I met a man who sailed to sea 
Told me everything in this world is free 
He said faith, mark you, is all you need 
To believe is also to bleed 
You're born 
Yeh and you're torn 
So you're born 
And you're born, and you're torn 
And you're born, and you're torn 
So you're born, so you're torn 
From a place that's safe and warm 
Took a journey to see a world 
So you're born
