In this dark place where I'm born
Finally all I can do is pray
That everything you give to me
I will find the strength to give away
And if I'm being listened to
My mind is like a cat, born to stray
The skies that have abandoned you
Are falling on your head and turning gray
The body that imprisons you
Will be the dust of skin and bone
And blow across this holy land
As if you were always already gone
And as your spirit drifts away
With a new day coming on
The body that imprisons you
Will be the dust of skin and bone
In this dark place where I'm born (all alone)
In this dark place where I'm born (all alone)
In this dark place where I'm born
Finally, all I can do is pray
That everything you give to me
I will find the strength to give away
And if I'm being listened to
My mind is like a cat, born to stray
The skies that have abandoned you
Are falling on your head and turning gray
(I'm on my way, I'm on my way)
(I'm on my way, I'm on my way)
(I'm on my way, I'm on my way)
In this dark place where I'm born (all alone)
In this dark place where I'm born (all alone)
And if I'm being and listened to
As the night becomes the day
The day becomes the night again
And I'm still and always in the way
My mind is like a rat
Across the floor
Needs a place to stay
In this dark place where I'm born (all alone)
In this dark place where I'm born (all alone)
In this dark place where I'm born (all alone)
(All alone)
(All alone)
