We were born to be
Young and free
Soon we started learning
Books are made for burning
We were born to be
Family
Take my uniform, I'm
Running to the sea
When I hear you sing from across the wall
See the moonlight shine on the waterfall
When you call (when you call)
Out my name (out my name)
That's how I know that we cry the same tears
And we feel the same pain
When you call (when you call)
Out my name (out my name)
Oh, now I know that we share the same sun
And we sing in the same rain, hey
Hello on your crescent
Man in the moon
We were born to be
A cherry tree
Has blossomed and it's snowin'
Upon my enemy
And what if all those lines aren't lines at all?
Keep the devil big to keep the people small
When you call (when you call)
Out my name (out my name)
That's how I know that we cry the same tears
And we feel the same pain
When you call (when you call)
Out my name (out my name)
Oh, now I know that we share the same sun
And we sing in the same rain, sayin'
Hello on your crescent
Man in the moon
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Hello on your crescent
Man in the moon
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Hello on your crescent
Man in the moon
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
