Didn'T Expect That
We come into this world not knowing what to expect
We are held, loved, nourished, grow, learn
We get hurt
Didn't expect that
Each day is a new chance to be held, loved, nourished, grow, learn
We get hurt
Didn't expect that
Enough already I expect more
Forget about my rising barriers
I got hurt
Didn't expect that
Tired of thinking I can be held, loved nourished, grow, learn
I got hurt
I don't care about the new day
Why me
Why not
Let down the barriers
forget yesterday and love today
It worked
Didn't expect that
