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
