Canaries in a Coal Mine

I was born old in a world as young as a growing child Everybody is seeking something and I don't know where to hide I was born calm in a world as loud as crowded street Every time I go out there oh it carries me off my feet I was born dark in a wolrd as white as my neighbors' wall All the time I've waiting for a ship to take me home I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies A don't feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes, and let the world dance around me I was born steady in a world that always keeps on changing If you don't go along for while, one day become a stranger I was born bold in a world that is told between the lines So I write till I'm finally free from a story that's not mine I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies A don't feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes If I could choose where I was born I Would choose a place that knows no fear But since this change is mine to live, it would be nowhere else but there I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies A don't feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes, and let the world dance around me I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies A don't feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies A don't feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes, and let the world dance around me
