You're staring out to sea
You wonder where you would be
If everything you are somehow
Were different in a way
Your life was not the same
A billion things led up
To this time

If you were born another time

You could travel through the rain
On a European train
Maybe you live on a desert plain
Waiting for the rain
You would never be the same somehow

If you were born another time

If the tree of life were broken
And you never were who you are
It's a curious mix of fate
And your destiny has its place

If you were born another time
