Afterall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He came around the mountain with fire in his eyes
Driving half a dozen mares all glistening and white
He said 'where you think you're going, son?'
I said 'I don't really know,
'But I'm glad you're here to ask me cause I was starting to give up
'And it made me think
'I was wrong, I've been wrong'
After all, what was I born for?
You can't go back and there's no fast forward
Something that I can finally move towards
After all, what was I born for?
Now the waves were getting frisky, and I was nervous with the wind
Straining at procedures, but we were starting to give in
In the flash and boom of thunder, I could swear I saw a ghost
But then he smiled across the water and said 'step out of the boat'
And I stepped in
Rain and wind, I stepped in
After all, what was I born for?
You can't go back and there's no fast forward
Something that I can finally move towards
After all, what was I born for?
Storm and wind, I stepped in
After all, what was I born for?
You can't go back and there's no fast forward
Something that I can finally move towards
After all, what was I born for?
After all, what was I born for?
You can't go back and there's no fast forward
Something that I can finally move towards
After all, what was I born for?
