born in a storm

i was born in a storm

on a night in december 1992

my mother was a rock and roll dancer

my father was a painter and a fool

i was raised to be wild and free

they said life's too short not to be

and if life gives you lemons you just put them in your hand and squeeze

and if the world gives you darkness you just flip the switch to see

you've gotta make it shine

i'm gonna make it shine

i'm gonna make it shine

everything can be too late

if it's not on time

and if you look too far ahead

you could lose your mind

and if you choose to shut your eyes

everything will pass you by

don't wait for your life to start

the world's a stage

just pick your part

and step into the light

make it shine

i'm gonna make it shine

i'm gonna make it shine

i'm gonna make it shine

why wait for a falling star

when you could just shoot one down
