I Was Born Sick

I belong in the aftermath of your arms Didn't mean to cause you much harm I was born sick and I hear your alarms Shaky as a leaf in fall...landing on a fabulous farm I didn't know you were around Now, I realize you're without a sound I guess I really got myself in this rut Going by my gut feelings - my eyes are shut You recognize my voice No room to rejoice My eyes express it all Deep down, I made a great fall Hear me when I call Hear me when I call Hear me...hear me... Catch me when I fall Catch me when I fall Catch me...catch me... Believe in me...please don't grieve Receive prayers of peace...these scars I will relieve Watching till our eyes can't see Willing to be a butterfly that will flee Out of here Out of here Give me cheer Come and steer My boat is here Without any fear I didn't know you were around Now, I realize you're without a sound I guess I really got myself in this rut Going by my gut feelings - my eyes are shut You recognize my voice No room to rejoice My eyes express it all Deep down, I made a great fall Hear me when I call Hear me when I call Hear me...hear me... Catch me when I fall Catch me when I fall Catch me...catch me... Maturity is learning to have purity Have faith in brighter days Bravery is key to be in good hands surely I've been making up a trillion ways To become a better, beautiful and benevolent me I didn't know you were around Now, I realize you're without a sound I guess I really got myself in this rut Going by my gut feelings - my eyes are shut You recognize my voice No room to rejoice My eyes express it all Deep down, I made a great fall Hear me when I call Hear me when I call Hear me...hear me... Catch me when I fall Catch me when I fall Catch me...catch me... I didn't know you were around Now, I realize you're without a sound I guess I really got myself in this rut Going by my gut feelings - my eyes are shut You recognize my voice No room to rejoice My eyes express it all Deep down, I made a great fall Hear me when I call Hear me when I call Hear me...hear me... Catch me when I fall Catch me when I fall Catch me...catch me... Hear me when I call Hear me when I call Hear me...hear me... Catch me when I fall Catch me when I fall Catch me...catch me... Amen... Hm... Amen... Hm...
