"Congratulations" lyrics
Scared to death
As the world stands still
Time marches on
When you don't have the will
As the first light of today
Breaks across your face
Another year, one more rotation
Congratulations
For the first time
You're alive
Can you tell me what that's like?
At the end of it all, what will remain?
As the choir calls out your name
Never thought it could happen to you
Does that make it any less true?
I still ride my bicycle, scrape my knee, cry for help
Like a kid, thought I knew how it felt
Coming of age
For the first time
You're alive
Can you tell me what that's like?
At the end of it all, what will remain?
As the choir calls out your name
As the world stands still
Time marches on
When you don't have the will
As the first light of today
Breaks across your face
Another year, one more rotation
Congratulations
For the first time
You're alive
Can you tell me what that's like?
At the end of it all, what will remain?
As the choir calls out your name
Never thought it could happen to you
Does that make it any less true?
I still ride my bicycle, scrape my knee, cry for help
Like a kid, thought I knew how it felt
Coming of age
For the first time
You're alive
Can you tell me what that's like?
At the end of it all, what will remain?
As the choir calls out your name
