Born too late

Vincent will you teach me how to paint
Theresa will I ever be a saint
John I really think your songs are great
I was born too late

William will you teach me how to write
And Cassius will you show me how to fight
Thomas A, I think I see the light
I was born tonight

I've hard time leaving this town
I've been losing everything that I've found
Never searched the sky, kissed the ground,
Build it up, and tear it back down

I've had a hard time leaving this place
I've been counting all the lines on my face
I've never cursed the sky, hit the ground,
What goes up comes tumbling down, tumbling down Jimi show you how me played that thing
Elvis will I ever be a king
And Jerry all the joy and love you bring
I was born to sing

Martin Luther King show me that way
Jesus Buddha teach me how to pray
Christopher I think I see the bay
I was born today, born today
