lyrics

She told me in bed that you weren´t my son
Your name was picked from inside of a gun
In a foreign reign, in a foreign land
Nothing can change the minute you born

I slept on the chair when the nurse came along
She tried to explain me why something was wrong
In a foreign reign, in a foreign land
Nothing can change the minute you born

Your mind was slow and your legs were weak
Your smile would fade, and your eyes brows tweaked
In a foreign reign, in a foreign land
Nothing can change the minute you born

Sorting the knife and the fork and the spoon
Sorting the sun and the stars and the moon
In a foreign reign, in a foreign land
Nothing can change the minute you born

You sorted the knife and they´ve put you on trial
They casted you away ‘n’ you were there for a while
In a foreign reign, in a foreign land
Nothing can change the minute you born

You dreamed of a son that would never have come
Tweaking my eye brows I teached you a song
In a foreign reign, in a foreign land
Nothing can change the minute you born.
