what gave the world to you?
lie down and fall asleep
there is a better place to go
you’re a creation of god

deformed
what gave the world to you?
lost soul
lie down and fall asleep
side show
there is a better place to go
mourn

you're a creation of god
and all his makings are wondrous
none more so than yourself
there is a better place to go
you’re a creation of god

to be remembered forever
they call you elephant man
what gave the world to you?
lie down and fall asleep

what gave the world to you?
