I Wish the World Knew Why

You were born to a dusty game You were born in fields of shame You were born to catch my eye I was born. I don't know why You were born with no helping hand You were born a stranger to your land You were born to reveal the lie I was born. I don't know why I don't know why you and I were meant to be together Far apart but birds of the same broken feather Though they said I had to break away I don't know why I knew I had to stay I was born to weep and moan I was born to be alone I was born to watch you die You were born, I wish the world knew why I don't know how you and I believed we'd fix the hurtin' Break those chains, pull back that hidden curtain I can't believe we got that glimpse of sky They never meant to let you fly I was born to weep and moan I was born to be alone I was born to watch you die You were born, I wish the world knew why You were born, I wish the world knew why
