I was told to live A simple lie Not knowing if We're living on borrowed time To draw blood from a stone And drag the word Not knowing if They fall in in line You were told to live With unopened arms Had the nest become A ghostly deserted place Had the stork gone out And forgave the pain Not knowing yourself Not knowing your place We were told to live We were told to live To wonder why The moon punctuates the earth So I read the book But It didn't fit I found god too intrusive And quick to turn on the rain You were meant to live Today You were meant to live
