Born And Raised

Now and then I pace my place

I can't retrace how I got here

I cheat the light to check my face

It's slightly harder than last year

Then all at once it gets hard to take

It gets hard to fake what I won't be

'Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised

And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

I still have dreams, they're not the same

They don't fly as high as they used to

I saw my friend, he's in my head and he said

"You don't remember me, do you?"

Then all at once it gets hard to take

It gets hard to fake what I won't be

'Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised

And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

I still got time, I still got faith

I call on both of my brothers

I got a mom, I got a dad

But they do not have each other

So line on up and take your place

And show your face to the morning

'Cause one of these days you'll be born and raised

And it all comes on without warning
