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 Still got time, 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
