Born Too Late

Vincent will you teach me how paint?

Theresa will I ever be a saint?

John I really think your songs are great?

I was born too late



William will you teach me how to write?

Cassius will you show me how to fight?

Thomas A. I think I see the light

I was born tonight



I've had a hard time leaving this town

I've been losing everything that I've found

I'm gonna search the sky

Kiss the ground

Build it up and tear it back down



Jimi show me how you play that thing

Elvis will I ever be a king?

Jerry all the joy and love you bring

I was born to sing



Martin Luther King show me the way

Jesus Buddha teach me how to pray

Christopher I think I see the bay

I was born today



I've had a hard time leaving this town

I've been losing everything that I've found

I'm gonna search the sky

Kiss the ground

Build it up and tear it back down



I've had a hard time leaving this place

I've been counting all the lines on my face

I'm gonna curse the sky

Hit the ground

What goes up comes tumbling down



Tumbling down
