"I Should Be Born" Lyrics

Labels warning to use with permission
Look inside of me — conflict, conditions
Don't lose sight of the lessons you're given
No sign or prescription can make you young again
Make me 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
Steal your time 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 conflict, condition can take your sight away
Take my sight away

Living on an island
Take your time when walking on the water
'Cause now we're running from our homes

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
You were drowning when you should have flown
I've been dying when I should be born
I should be born
(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
The love that built you

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
You were drowning when you should have flown
I've been dying when I should be born
I've been dying when I should be born
I've been dying when I should be born
(I should be born)
(I should be born)
(I should be born)
