I was born a child of grace
   Nothing else about the place
   Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
   And it left me no illusion
  
   I saw you in the curve of the moon
   In the shadow cast across my room
   You heard me in my tune
   When I just heard confusion
  
   All because of you
   All because of you
   All because of you
   I am… I am
  
   I like the sound of my own voice
   I didn’t give anyone else a choice
   An intellectual tortoise
   Racing with your bullet train
  
   Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
   Some people got high rises on their backs
   I’m not broke but you can see the cracks
   You can make me perfect again
  
   All because of you
   All because of you
   All because of you
   I am… I am
  
   I’m alive
   I’m being born
   I just arrived, I’m at the door
   Of the place I started out from
   And I want back inside
  
   All because of you
   All because of you
   All because of you
   I am
