Born Again Lyrics

I never thought too much about it
It didn't seem like it should matter all those years ago
It was buried under Florida sand
And frozen under Pennsylvania snow
I was fine to leave it all undone
Until I looked in the eyes of my own son
And everything was born again...
Promises get broken
Still too young to know the difference
Oh but time would tell
What was lost in all those silent years
Uncovered in some secret fear I've known
Facing the past to understand
My father's voice, my mother's hand
And everything is born again...
What does it mean to give and live and lose and win
Then end up dying to preserve a vow you made?
Sometimes it helps to name what marks you most of all
The things that shape your deepest places
And I'm not taking sides
I just think it's sad that's all
That's all
