Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake before the rooster calls
Count the gray hairs on my pillow
Mama's hands are thinner than they were
And the years keep moving faster
I don't ask for much
Just a little more time
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord help
Lord help us all
Lord help me understand
[Chorus]
Why are we born just to go
Why are we born just to go
I'm getting older every season
And I don't want to leave
Show me your light
Show me a sign
[Verse 2]
My brother says he feels it too
The clock that no one winds
We sit on the porch and say nothing
Then we say it all again
You are perfect in a world that isn't
That's the part I can't hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord help
Lord help us all
Lord help me understand
[Chorus]
Why are we born just to go
Why are we born just to go
I'm getting older every season
And I don't want to leave
Show me your light
Show me a sign
[Bridge]
I'm scared and you know it
Scared and you know it
Tell me this isn't the end of the road
Tell me the road keeps going
[Verse 3]
(Help us all)
I ask the sky a hundred questions
(Help us all)
The sky stays quiet and blue
(Help me understand)
Maybe quiet is an answer too
Maybe quiet is enough for now
[Chorus]
Why are we born just to go
Why are we born just to go
I'm getting older every season
And I don't want to leave
Show me your light
Show me a sign
[Outro]
Lord help
Lord help us all
