C F C
I was born come on the break of spring
C F C
Mama told me i got joy to bring
Am F C
But i got something buried in my soul
G F C
Nothing ever seemed to make me whole
 
C F C
I got on my knees and learned to pray
C F Am
God, if you're the one then i will stay
F C
But i was given wings to fly away
G F C
I keep my word as long as i'm okay
 
[Refrão]
Am F
So tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
C G
I'm praying i got something worth the breath it takes to say
Am F
And i don't understand why i should get the chance

While in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
C
When i can't earn this plan

You think i found a place where i belong

But nothing keeps me rooted here for long

I'd rather travel to a stranger place

Then recognized as a familiar face

When i can't earn this plan
