Born Lyrics by Over the Rhine

Drunkard’s Prayer

0

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
Pour me a glass of wine
Talk deep into the night
Who knows what we'll find
Intuition, déjà vu
The Holy Ghost haunting you
Whatever you got
I don't mind
I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
Put your elbows on the table
I'll listen long as I am able
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Secret fears, the supernatural
Thank God for this new laughter
Thank God the joke's on me
Cause I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
We've seen the landfill rainbow
We've seen the junkyard of love
Baby it's no place for you and me
I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
I was born to laugh (Pour me a glass of wine)
(Talk deep into the night) I learned to laugh through my tears (Who knows what we'll find)
I was born to love (Put your elbows on the table)
(I'll listen long as I am able) I'm gonna learn to love without fear (Whatever you got, I don't mind)
I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
