Lyrics
Fifteen minute drive takes two hours
Next thing you know ten years have gone on by
A cigarette and a five dollar coffee
Shouldn't be the only joys in life
It ain't making a living
If nothing about you is alive
So all my brothers and sisters
You painters and you givers
Can't you hear that voice inside?
You don't have to be no saint
To make the world a better place
Just listen to your light
'Cause we were born to shine
Hey Sisyphus put down your stone, you ain't going nowhere
Come with me, I've got a plan
Let's climb these towers of Babylon
And show these folks that there's life outside the man
There's something noble in a means to an end
Just can't ever let the end become the means
So all my brothers and sisters
You painters and you givers
Can't you hear that voice inside?
You don't have to be no saint
To make the world a better place
Just listen to your light
'Cause we were born to shine
Born, born, born, born to shine
Born, born, born, born to shine
Born, born, born, born to shine
Born, born, born, born to shine
So all my brothers and sisters
You painters and you givers
Can't you hear that voice inside?
You don't have to be no saint
To make the world a better place
Just listen to your light
'Cause we were born to shine
