lyrics

you sit and read your coffee cup
while the dress of life slips down
and the language to learn is sarcasm
and France is a dream in the ground
flowers are for days
when nobody has
to work at all
you sit and read your coffee cup
life gets naked and loud

well your sitting here
well you made the choice
now it’s time to hear
from a lady’s voice

so you were born to run
you were made to fly
now there’s a hole
up in the sky

but that’s what my daddy told me
I was made for number one
if I lose my first position
I may have to use my gun

im a spinner in the sky and theres a light
for everyone
all you have to do is listen to my song

it all falls away
falls away
falls away until you be the rain
come down come down
and then you'll see the same
fall away fall away fall away
until you be there rain
come down come down

oh its not that simple darling
I have needs to slow you down
have you seen the expectations
burned in me by my home town
welcome to my world and I will
let you see the lists inside
you can't imagine

I was born on a silver spoon
they let me live
in my very own room
and they loved me
they told me they loved me
the doctor says you're the man
if you can't do it
who else can
and they loved me
they told me they loved me

and that’s when my daddy told me
I was made for number one
if I lose my first position
I must find a different one

I’m a spinner in the sky and there’s still light
for everyone
listen to my song

it all falls away
falls away
falls away until you be the rain
come down come down
and then you'll see the same
fall away fall away fall away
until you be the rain
come down come down

I’m not the same
I’m not the same
everything I've gained
I've earned my name
I’m not the same
I’m not the same
everything I've gained
I’ve earned my name
I still remember what my daddy told me
I still remember what my daddy told me
I’ll be the one to win
I’ll be the one to win
I’ll be the one to win
I’ll be the one to win
I’ll be the

listen to me boy
you'll never be good enough
for him

in a busy place
I fell for the sun
the clock was pounding
and his voice said one
and the people there
who knows why they had come
and the people there
they could feel the
drum

I like to play music because something happens to me and people and time and space and pain when I play music that makes me feel like I am at the theatre and also running to catch a ball and also that I am allowed to be here. That actually, its really good that Im here. I understand through song. ... more
