We were born and raised Like a song, like this guitar Born to seize the day Like the songs we sang on this guitar We were born to dream Like a song, like this guitar Backseat harmonies Like the songs we sang on this guitar Every memory Everyone we try to be Every song that sends us chasing down the highway Every town we play Every truth we try to say That every tale has a beginning and an ending So when you get your wings Like a song, like this guitar You must rise up singing Like the songs we sang on this guitar Looking back to find All the lives you left behind Are you caught now between yesterday and tomorrow? 'Cause everyone pretends That they want to know the ending But then they run away with their pride and their sorrow So when you get your wings Like a song, like this guitar You must rise up singing Like the songs we sang on this guitar You must rise up singing Like the songs we sang on this guitar This guitar
