So You're Born Lyrics - Hazel O'connor

{Words & Music: Hazel O'Connor} 

So you're born, so you're torn 

From a place that's safe and warm 

I took a journey to see a world 

And you're born 

And you're torn 

So you're pulled from pillar to post 

And you're told it's best to be the one who knows the most 

Yet the more I know, I know nothing 

Nothing at all 

Yeh, you're born 

I met a man, who sung a song 

And the know-it-intellects said each note was wrong 

It made me happy, that's enough 

So why did they give that man a rough time 

Born 

Torn 

I have no memory for what I do 

It's just a feeling, that I give to you 

Yeh, the more I know, I know nothing 

Nothing at all 

Yeh, and you're born 

I met a man who sailed to sea 

Told me everything in this world is free 

He said faith, mark you, is all you need 

To believe is also to bleed 

You're born 

Yeh and you're torn 

So you're born 

And you're born, and you're torn 

And you're born, and you're torn 

So you're born, so you're torn 

From a place that's safe and warm 

Took a journey to see a world 

So you're born
