Born

[Verse 1] Eleventh of May, today is your birthday Wherever you may be in that place we all will go some day I think of your Mama, I think of your brother: Your Daddy said you left before you really went away And you went away... [Chorus] We all make a mess of living We all try to carry on We try to make the best of it until the day we're done We've all got a hurt we're hiding We've all got someone we mourn For me, I am just grateful I am grateful you were born You wеre born, you were born, you wеre born [Verse 2] Last time I saw you: in our apartment Putting everything you owned into a bag slung on your back I found some pictures, we were just kids, yeah Playing hard at grownups 'til our problems got too big And you know that they did... [Chorus] We all make a mess of living We all try to carry on We try to make the best of it until the day we're done We've all got some hurt we're hiding We've all got someone we mourn For me, I am just grateful I'm just grateful you were born You were born, you were born You were born, you were born You were born, you were born You were born, You... [Bridge] I can see you in the half-light laughing like it's alright Frozen in a moment like time's on your side I see you when I close my eyes Maybe we're just ghosts now Maybe we don't realise [Outro] Hmm thank God you were born You were born, you were born You were born, thank God you were born You were born, you were born You were born, thank God you were born You were born, you were born Thank God you were born
