Be Born, a song by Rob Cantor.

Inspiration

The song was inspired by Rob's father, David Cantor, who shared musical interests with Rob.

Song Interpretations

Some will look at this 2-dimensionally and see it as talking about a baby in the womb about to be born. Others interpret this as a metaphor for trying to take the hand of a misguided and lost friend; one who's in a place they've been before, and show them what they're missing in life and how to overcome the darkness they've surrounded themselves with.

Lyrics

I suppose you're quite content in your swimming pool
All you pink-skinned babes are the same
And you can't stay forever young
So get out here and see the sun
You're only six inches away from becoming one

I was in your shoes before, or lack thereof
And things worked out for me
There's a dozen people here
And they're waiting for you
It's your party; you can cry if you want to

What if I told you I could show you something?
What if I told you I could make you live?
Follow my instruction, swim in the direction
Of my voice, hear my voice
Of my voice, hear my voice

(Alright)
You think that you've seen it all in your little ball
But man you're wrong and she's been waiting
Long and hard to kiss your head and hold your hands
And hold you while you fall asleep, and

What if I told you I could show you something?
What if I told you I could make you live?
Follow my instruction, swim in the direction
Of my voice, hear my voice
Of my voice, hear my voice

Bah Bah Da Bah, Bah Bah Da Bah, Baheyah, Bah Bah Da Bah, Bah Bah Da Bah, Baheyah

What if I told you I could show you something?
What if I told you I could make you live?
Follow my instruction, swim in the direction
Of my voice, hear my voice
Of my voice, hear my voice
