lyrics

I recall dead of winter
Eight years old, still an hour to dawn
I recall I was not perfect
But all was worth it on the day you were born

Your life and all you'll know
Is at once a decade gone in a blink
Or the time it takes to say “hello”

A moment lost to a choice not chosen
From a ground not frozen by the air anymore
The threads of time are a fabric tailored
I was no failure on the day you were born

Hard times and times unknown
Will go on while never pausing to think
Of their luck or if they're on their own
What does it matter at all?
And your life an all you'll know
Is at once a memory gone in the blink
Or the time it takes to say hello

I can't recall if another mountain
Or another sky had ever been before
But why look down when you can see forever?
I didn't know terror on the day you were born.

No, I didn't know terror
On the day we were born

(Hello)
