Not Borrowed

Here are the lyrics from a song some friends of mine wrote, it is powerful and brilliant and on Itunes if you want to hear it. 

Not Borrowed 

You are not borrowed

You are not

Your are not borrowed

You are not

 

Ain’t nobody gonna give you back

Ain’t nobody gonna Sell you back

 

There was a time when you were young

There was time when they were dumb

There was a slip of the thoughtless tongues

Riding like a saw on a steel can drums

 

There was a time when you heard those words

Took them as truth and they made your World

All those cruelties of foolish boys and foolish girls

 

You are not borrowed

You are not

You are not borrowed

You are not

 

Ain’t nobody gonna give you back

Ain’t nobody gonna Sell you back

 

We all have a story to tell

And a story that were livi’n as well

Well they feeding each other as the silence swells

 

Sometimes we get trapped in the prison of the past

Things we’ve done, well they were never meant to last

We never knew who we were ‘cause noone ever asked

 

You are not borrowed

You are not

You are not borrowed

You are not

 

Ain’t nobody gonna give you back

Ain’t nobody gonna Sell you back

 

There was a voice inside your ear

Saying your alone, there’s nothing near

There was a voice that said, save your tears you’ll only waste them here

There was a sound above them all

Burning through the air and breaking down walls

It was there and then that you heard someone call -

 

You are not borrowed

You are not

You are not borrowed

You are not

 

Ain’t nobody gonna give you back

Ain’t nobody gonna Sell you back

 

You are not borrowed

You are not

You are not borrowed

You are not
