Born School Work Love Gone
(in the style of Pearl Jam’s “Black”)
[Verse 1]
Born into a world I never chose
Crying lungs and tiny toes
They said Grow up don’t waste your time
But time’s the thief that steals the shine
I learned the rules I played along
In a crowd I sang their song
But all the noise just fades away
When I hear my heart still sa
[Chorus]
Born... then school... then work... then love... then gone
Like a whisper in the storm we’re never here for long
So hold me close before the daylight’s gone
We’re born... then school... then work... then love... then gone.
[Verse 2]
School halls echo with dreams that fade
Names on desks that time will trade
We chase the gold we lose our sight
Trading dawn for neon light
We climb we crawl we fall we mend
Pretend the road won’t ever end
But the mirror knows what’s true and clear
The years are dust
the end is near
[Chorus]
Born... then school... then work... then love... then gone
Like a whisper in the storm we’re never here for long
So hold me close before the daylight’s gone
We’re born... then school... then work... then love... then gone.
[Bridge]
Love the few who stand beside
Your circle small, your hearts aligned.
The rest they come and go like rain
Don’t chase the ghosts that bring you pain
Laugh loud cry deep forgive forget
The sun still sets on no regret
[Breakdown – soft, emotional]
Before you know, the stars turn cold
Another story left untold
Embrace the light, the blood, the bone
You’re never truly here alone
[Final Chorus – soaring, emotional build-up]
Born... then school... then work... then love... then gone.
Like shadows dancing on the dawn
So breathe it in
before it’s gone
Born... then school... then work... then love...
then gone.
(instrumental outro – slow guitar fade, soft hums, echoing “gone… gone… gone
