Born To Die

"Born to Die"~ RER

A waiting room of anxious faces

Could only mean one thing

Back in the delivery room

a new mother cries in pain



Sun lit Clouds streak the sky

On this warm April day

A weary new father enters the room

And tells the family they’re ok



The circle beginning

A race to be ran

Today is born

Another son of man
 


The long line of car headlights

Could only mean one thing

Following a big black hearse

Inside a widow weeps in pain



Gray and black streak the sky

On this cold December day

The barren trees that line the road

Seem to point the way



The circle now closed

The race be ran

Today they’ll bury

Another son of man



Life is here and gone again

Filled with love and pain

Days of Sorrow Days of Joy

Some with sun some with rain


Coming and going all a part of it

All in the blink of an eye

Watch the hours closely my love

For we are born to die
