When you were born you were not alone Nothing was carved into the stone Quite yet but don't forget You heard someone say it won't get better than this That was the sound of your father As he held you up to your mother No one will ever know The love as pure as the one that you felt right then
They held you up, they held you up And everybody else they fell to the wayside This is the stuff of beginning The prologue to the yarn that you're spinning A million synonyms will never come close to describe the feeling
Don’t ever leave cause if you do dear I guarantee that you’ll regret The day you did And you’ll miss all the simple things And you’ll see everything you ever loved Start fading till there's nothing left but dust
[Chorus:] And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before And I see the things that I pretend that I don't see And I store them in my head, love If only for memories
So now you’re young and you feel alone Despite friends, family, and all the good things now surrounding you You can’t help thinking Oh there's gotta be some more to do When all the things that you cherish Turn into burdens and there is No other path to take You know what you gotta do but you don’t know how
They hold you back They hold you down And you’re gonna feel bad but you know that you gotta get out This is your pain your dilemma Will you stay in the town where they raised you Or will you sail away Pull the anchor and go in for the come what may
You have to leave Cause if you don’t dear You’ll never see the things you read about in books You saw the films and you were hooked But everything you want won’t come to you And you realize now that you gotta go see this through
