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 Your destination ends ahead 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
