Born With A Future

The road isn't wide enough for your kind of car,

and you should be tired after travellin' so far

The sky isn't blue enough for your kind of day,

the lie isn't true enough, you're losing your way

The sea isn't deep enough for your kind of ship,

and you should be stronger 'cos you're using a whip

You're born with a future, you'll die with a past

But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail

And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail.

Your voice isn't loud enough for you to be heard,

when everyone shouting and you can't find a word

For all the silences that last for too long,

when everyone's singing and you don't know the song

Your arms are not long enough to reach for the sky,

the time isn't long enough, we're all gonna die

You're born with a future, you'll die with a past

But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail

And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail.

You offer me forbidden fruits, and you know I can not say no

You let me walk you home if I promise to sleep on the floor

I've heard that before, I've heard that,

you know I've heard that, you know I've heard that before

She's a lion and I'm a lamb, and she knows there's no way I can go

She lets me watch her sleping, making sure she never closes the door

I've been here before, there's always no more waiting waiting

You're born with a future, you'll die with a past

You're born with a future, you'll die with a past.

But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail

And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail.
