lyrics

If you go east you’re sure to meet
The gypsy the monk and the beast
Its not there fault they were born that way
Born that way on a stormy day

The gypsy girl she was broken down
No more people were coming around
She lived her life all alone
Will things change she doesn’t think so

So she came up with an evil plan
To build a fire and destroy the land
But as the fire began to grow
She changed her mind, why I don’t know

Its not my fault I was born this way
Born this way. on a stormy day

The beast he cried I want some of your fun
I said ok now here is some
he said ok now I want more
I said im going to have to shut the door

That was not that long ago
I don’t know where he is anymore
But I hope that he found his way
Found his way through that stormy day

And at the top of the steepest hill
There lives a monk who says he is filled
Filled with love and an open mind
Never hating he is always kind

He looks through me and says hey now boy
Your going to have sorrow your going to have joy
Don’t worry about the way
Things will be fine even on a stormy day
