'Cause I know that time has numbered my days
And I’ll go along with everything you say

But I’ll (1)________ home laughing, look at me now

And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
And I know (3)________ choices colour all I’ve done

And I'll believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is fast
But I’ll be born without a mask
