lyrics

26. Born Beautiful

You were born to assist your surroundings
feel the EarthBeat pounding
get up and get down and
move through the brush, the water and the air
You were born to care
you were born to get depressed when the world sucks
you were born to give ten times more fucks
and it's okay to say NO! when they try to make dough
off of killing your woes with the pharmaceuticals
Hell NO! We won't go
unless you mean south through the snow.

And you were born beautiful
you sang into this life
You are beautiful still
why'd you stop singing?
(it's indescribably beautiful)

you were born to touch the land, directly with your hands
to soar, to roar, to insist on your demands
it's a pretty good plan, to defend your land base
Why NOT smash these states in their figurative face
You were Not born dependant on the wages they have paid you
born to love through the locks of the fear cage they made you
love is made of wings, shimmering things, for luminious beings
and flight is so freeing

And you were born beautiful
you sang into this life
You are beautiful still
why'd you stop singing?

We were born for each other, sisters and brothers
given our druthers we weave through each other's
existance, we exist to assist
through our children we persist
we were born of the mist and return to the dust
in between we're sposed to clean up

And we were born beautiful
we sang into this life
and we're beautiful still
SING!
(it's indescribably beautiful)

You were born to sweat in the heat and shiver in the cold
born young and wet to die dry and old
but truth be told the nerve endings are worth the trade off
adrenaline's just there to show you what you're made of
you can face down fear for the ones you hold dear
if you live life to give life you made love

Just as you were born beautiful
you sang into this life

still beautiful
still beautiful
still beautiful
still beautiful
