The Innocence of the baby contrasted with the good and the bad in this world

Story behind the song
Being born and even dying... we all want to be delivered
A little bit of Jack Kerouac
Lyrics
Some of em will go mad by the numbers
Some of em will go mad by the word
Some of em will pretend to lose reason
And some of em will lose reason anyway.
Some of em will go mad by the numbers
Some of em will go mad by the sea
Some of em on the highest pek mountain
Some of em will go mad by degrees
Chorus
And oh she cries deliver me
Oh she cries deliver me
I got a life to live
Some of em will never touch beauty
Some of em will not see the truth
Some of em will be called to duty
And some of em will be lost in youth
Some of em will go mad by the money
Some of em will go made by their fame
Some of em will bring this world honet
And some of em will rise above this game
Chorus
Some of em wil llive for tomorrow
Some of em only for today
Some of them will bring this world sorrow
Some of them will ighten the way
