Be Born Today - Valley Maker

The sky opens for me

The earth swallows my feet

Blackbird coming down so mean

Bloodstain on the silent street

Well it’s nice to meet you

Strange enough to pass through

Knowledge of a violent deed

Windfall and the roots are weak

Time, it only takes away

I give a little more each day

Distance on a crooked plane

Cities never learn my name

Winter day, the cold beach

Covered in the air you breathe

Seagulls flying down so mean

Hold on to the love I need

Someone had to be born today

Someone had to learn to walk away

Tell me do you hold the weight?

Tell me do you wake up strange?

One of these days

One of these days

Summer day the cemetery

Standing in the weight under the tree

Time moved and the ground gave way

Her name with so many names

Well what can I bring you?

Everything I was, everything I knew

Take off in the light of day

Something always left to say

Someone had to be born today

Someone had to learn to walk away

Tell me do you hold the weight of change?

Tell me do you wake up feeling strange?

One of these days

One of these days
