© 2017 – Lyrics by Robert Braathe

The look on her face when you asked her to junior prom
The cook at that place when you celebrated your mom
The book that you aced when your studied with Tom

I know when I read about what makes us tick
I go through the needs of the healthy and sick
They say the day you are born is the day that you fly
But it’s not just that day it’s all the moments that show you why

The strange and the true that happen to stay
The range of the blue in the sky on each day
The praise within you that you are willing to say

I know when I read about what makes us tick
I go through the needs of the healthy and sick
They say the day you are born is the day that you fly
But it’s not just that day it’s all the moments that show you why

The feel of a hand on your shoulder or mine
The steel of the can in Boulder at Dine
The real of the man who put his fortunes in time

I know when I read about what makes us tick
I go through the needs of the healthy and sick
They say the day you are born is the day that you fly
But it’s not just that day it’s all the moments that show you why
