This song is about life and uses a bed as a metaphor for how life is; you laugh, you cry, they’re are good times and bad times. You’re born in a bed and you die in a bed. Each verse goes through a step in life up until death.
[Chorus]
In bed we laugh
In bed we cry
Born in bed
In bed we die
As life goes on
And time goes by
Born in bed
In bed we die
Woman becomes the tree of life
A cycle once more to begin
Through wisdom gain an age has passed
She is a star and then well
[Chorus]
In bed we laugh
In bed we cry
Born in bed
In bed we die
Life goes on (life goes on)
Time goes by (time goes on)
Born in bed
In bed we die
Innocence a child was born
A being with no past
Yeah in his eyes a fear takes shape
I fear I fear will last running fast
[Chorus]
Bed we laugh (bed we laugh)
In bed we cry (born in bed)
Born in bed
In bed we die
Life goes on
And time goes by (time goes on)
Born in bed
In bed we die
Fear of death breathes in on life
I feel I've been living life wrong
When love has stopped the fear is past
And hello becomes no
[Chorus]
In bed we laugh
In bed we cry (born)
Born in bed (born in bed)
In bed we die (life goes on)
As life goes on (time goes by)
And time goes by (born in bed)
Born in bed (well in bed we)
In bed we die
