Born Into This Life

Whatever it is that you think you know
Whatever it is that you've learned
The time will come when you don't know enough
And all of your bridges are burned

When all the trappings are stripped away
And you face the cold light of day
With no place to hide and no place to run
And nothing to stand in the way

High on a hillside with the wind in our face
And nothing to protect you in that cold and empty place
As naked as the moment we were born
When we came into this life
Carrying nothing but hope
Born into this life

Sophistication we gather together
As we journey along on our way
But it's not about the books or the films we have seen
They only serve to distract for a day

All of the trappings that we hold dear
The smoke and mirrors that blind
The possessions we gather to make us secure
In the end we leave them behind

High on a hillside with the wind in our face
And nothing to protect us in that cold and empty place
As naked as the moment we were born
When we came into this life
Carrying nothing but hope
Born into this life
