lyrics
Born to this world
They pulled you out, and you emerged a fighter
Eat, breathe, and sleep
You'll learn no other way until you're older
Cry, and stare into your mother's eyes
Father is proud
To photograph this moment for all time
You're afraid, but you will fly
Hmmm, hmmm
Day after day
The road you walk is paved with good intentions
Keep in good health
And strive to take concern for all your brethren
Drive the demons from inside your mind
Build a career
And settle down into the family life
In this overwhelming time
Closed in your head
Experience and time will stand contested
Brave the unknown
And shout into the void and wait for answers
Why expect you to just understand?
Soon you will be
Indebted to the guidance by our hand
And live it up to die a man
Live aloof, the age of youth
Chase the truth as the days pass by
Fill the room with squares and cubes
To build and bloom
Over twenty-seven years, oh
Twenty-seven years, oh
Try to follow in our guiding light
Beaten and dazed
Embrace the sweetest dreams of times gone by
You were chained, but now you fly
