a-ha "Birthright"
(words by Magne; music by Magne 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,
you ain't gonna waste your life
chasing rainbows like some clown
But who's gonna come with you tonight
Who's gonna tell you it's alright
Everything changes over time
Just like wine
Time ain't gonna hold you up,
Ain't gonna 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
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 the ordinary
so unnecessary
But it's alright
Yes it's alright
It's your birthright
