We were born with wings
And we educated us to get high
We were born with wings
We looked up to the birds in the sky
We were born with wings
Still waiting to learn how to fly

And when life looks like a Swedish November
It is easier to live numb than to live to remember

We were born with crowns
We grew up with the spar in our hand
We were born with crowns
In the suburbs of the promised land
We were born with dreams
And our future wasn't weighted and poor
We were born with wings
But we never understood what they're for

And when life looks like a British November
It is easier to be numb than to live to remember

We were born with wings
