listen
watch “birthday (part two)”
lyrics
today’s your birthday
your day to start again
first day on earth day
the past has come to an end
and all that you see is real
and all that you feel, you feel
and all alone you come awake
today’s your birthday
the sun spills across the sky
today’s the first day
you know without asking why
and all that you see is new
and all that you feel is you
and all alone, we come awake
the sky won’t fall
there’s room for us all
the tears the smiles we throw away
look out for the light,
while inside it’s bright
you close your eyes to see
we’re all who we are
inside is a star you grasp
when you stop your reaching
everything’s right
inside with the light that shines
when you stop your preaching
today’s your birthday
when you let yourself out your skin
first day on earth day
the new world comes rushing in
and all that you dream comes true
and all that you seem is you
we’re all alone awake as one
love’s gonna flow
just stop shouting no
and let yourself go slow motion
fear is a pail
your soul is in jail
till you pour it back to the ocean
a moment’s fright
then everything’s right
as you fill the swirling sea
they’ll tell you it’s death
but what you fear the is the breath
that let’s you finally say
today’s my birthday
my day to start again
first day on earth day
the future’s come to an end
and all that you see is new
and all that you feel is you
and all that you dream comes true
and all that you say you do
and all that you fear falls away
and all that you hide falls away
and all that hate falls away
and all that you need falls away
and all that you blame falls away
and all that you shame falls
and all that you love falls away
all that you want falls away
till all that’s left
is today
