Before you come into the world
You should know there are things that will hurt and things that won't
Like scraping your knees on the asphalt
And the freedom right before you fell
And nobody tells it like it is
They say isn't it lovely and buck up kid
But you learn how to breathe just by doin' it
How to dream until you believe yourself
Takin' a picture to pass the time
A disposable camera it's alright
You'll be leanin' your head in the half light
What a feeling to be alive
Then impossible questions the heart will ask
You'll stumble around til the walls collapse
A bird hittin' hard on the mirror glass
Lookin' for something in someone else
And nobody tells it like it is
They say follow the good road and chin up kid
But you learn how to scream when the train comes in
And you feel the weight like you've never felt
Takin' a picture to capture it
A parade in the emptiness after it
You'll be ultramarine and violet
What a feeling to be alive
And nobody tells it like it is
They say don't rock the boat and shut up kid
That big black train is rolling in
And that deep down scream is growing
A hurricane come howl in the shot
Heard from the mountain of blessing
And a bird and I swear this will be worth it
And nobody tells it like it is
They say don't blow around on a different wind
But you're gone and you're not even listening
They were wrong and the wind is a living thing
And you're taking a picture you won't forget
Something real in the way you remember it
You'll be everything you'll be righteous
What a feeling to be alive
Before you come into the world
You should know there are things that will hurt and things that won't
Like scrapin' your knees on the asphalt
And the freedom right before you fell
And nobody tells it like it is
They say isn't it lovely and buck up kid
But you learn how to breathe just by doin' it
How to dream until you believe yourself
