Birthright Lyrics

Words by Magne Furuholmen

Music by Magne Furuholmen and Martin Terefe



You don't wanna hang around

Said you were leaving town for the summer

At least till sundown



Cuz time ain't gonna grind you down,

ain't gonna waste your life

chasing rainbows like some clown



But who's gonna come with you tonight

Who's gonna to tell you it's alright?

Everything changes over time

Just like wine



Time ain't gonna hold you up,

Ain't going to make it stop long enough to ease your mind,

Ain't gonna make it last forever



And you...

whatcha gonna do?

Walk it solitary?

So unnecessary

But it's alright

It's your birthright



Hey, hey everything's different down the line

Everything changes over time



Time ain't gonna make it worse

It's gonna make you start feeling better

Just like wine

We're gonna make it last forever



Hey you...

Whatcha gonna do?

Just be ordinary?

So unnecessary



But it's all right

Yes it's alright

It's your birthright
