so, first off, you need to know that this video is in no way the official one. it’s fan made. i picked it because…well…there aren’t any official ones or even concert footage of this beautiful song.

cloud cult’s you were born is a song that every single parent can relate to. i started listening to it during my youngest’s first year, so every time i hear it, i sentimentally relate it to him now. it is sweet and heartfelt and fuzzy and all of those other things that you childless people out there are probably rolling your eyes at. me? i adore cloud cult for making this song. but then again, i adore the band in general!

you were born into a strange world
like a candle, you were meant to share the fire
i don’t know where we come from, and i don’t know where we go
but my arms were made to hold you, so i will never let you go
’cause you were born to change this life
you were born to chase the light
you were born

oh my precious, oh my love, when they come to take me,
i will hold you from above
i don’t know why we’re here, and i don’t know how,
but i’m here with you now, i am here with you now
’cause you were born to change this life
’cause you were born to make this right
’cause you were born to chase the light

buy light chasers, the excellent album you were born is off of, HERE.
