Chorus
Demanding and pounding
Pushing through to life
Begging to be heard
Clawing through the cold red earth
Begging to be born
Begging to be born
Verse 1
Progeny of patience
Still impatient in every demand
Kicking out
Let me out
Tugging hard at my shirttails
Following me through the empty rooms
Voices carrying farther
Voices carrying louder
Than I thought they ever could
Pre-Chorus
Life inside waiting
To be delivered
Sweat drips
Down the cells
Chorus
Demanding and pounding
Pushing through to life
Begging to be heard
Clawing through the cold red earth
Begging to be born
Begging to be born
Verse 2
Tearing me
Ripped apart
Shredded pieces of my heavy heart
I leave it here
Still beating
Still breathing
A pulse outside my own body
On thin legs walking away
Pre-Chorus
Life inside waiting
To be delivered
Sweat drips
Down the cells
Chorus
Demanding and pounding
Pushing through to life
Begging to be heard
Clawing through the cold red earth
Begging to be born
Begging to be born
Post-Chorus
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Bridge
Pivots to return
Leaves shadows long
Remains in light
Remains in fear
I hear it call
I hear it cry
I hear it call my name
Chorus
Demanding and pounding
Pushing through to life
Begging to be heard
Clawing through the cold red earth
Begging to be born
Begging to be born
