Sparks Acoustic Demo - Brooke Fraser Lyrics

Come and sit, take the load off
Talk with me a while
Community is common pain, common joy and offered time
We don't have to agree on everything
You learn something from me and I learn something from you
We all have a story and a past we lived through
And I think it's kind of beautiful
We were born for the struggle
We were born for the pain
Eve ate the apple and I did the same
We're so busy capturing and broadcasting moments that we do not live it
So consumed with the playback of our lives that we don't know we are not in it
Put down the camera and look me in the eye
So much for, so much for the myth of progress
Seems to me it's still about who gots the mostest
While the pigeon holders hold their placards high
We were born in for the struggle
We were born in to the pain
Eve ate the apple and I did the same
A ragamuffin lament if we are honest
Oh Abraham
We are the stars you were promised
I wanna feel something real even if it's hard
Like facing the gap between the people we wanna be and the people we are
See you and I, we're not so different
Think it's time I set sail from
Disillusionment to hope
Take that big, big river
In my small, small boat
Show myself we're not all darkness
All darkness
We were born for the beauty for the poetry of pain
Surely a sparks is far upward from a flame
Eve ate the apple and I did the same
