Before you were born Lyrics

Did you think, did you know, how it would turn out

You did it in style, but never dared to shout

Looking back was it fun or was it just what it was

It had to be done for you to stumble across

Did you feel just for once that maybe you were free

All their rules they laid down ignored respectfully

Were you scared, or were you wholly liberated

And looking back was it understated

What came between the child and the man

Did one simply morph into the other

So what was your intention or plan

Destroy the hopes of your mother and father?

Where was the line that you needed to cross

What happened to all the dreams that were torn

Must we believe that you never gave a toss

So what did you do before you were born?

I can see the risk you were taking

It was there every night, all of your own making

How deep was the fear of something you might miss

Moving on, year on year, it must have been sheer bliss

Once you start there could never ever be enough

It felt right in your heart as long as you stayed tough

With more and more coming through, all wanting much the same

Just a matter of time before you stamped your own name

What came between the child and the man

Did one simply morph into the other

So what was your intention or plan

Destroy the hopes of your father?

Where was the line that you needed to cross

What happened to all the dreams that were torn

Must we believe that you never gave a toss

So what did you do before you were born?
