| Back when I was just a kid
|
| Skin was paper thin
|
| Folded up like origami
|
| Turned the sensitivity in me into an army
|
| Standing at the castle walls that stood before me
|
| I couldn’t climb until I learned to let the people in
|
| Even though it hurt me, lit the fire from within
|
| Made me feel like I can make it through anything
|
| No matter what they bring, tell me that I’ll never win
|
| Everything I need is right in front of me
|
| I wanna bridge the gap and feel the unity
|
| Yeah, everything I need is in the air I breathe
|
| You get back what you give, and I was born to live, born to live
|
| I know all that you’ve been through
|
| Feeling like you might not make it alone
|
| 'Cause I have walked a mile in your shoes
|
| Yeah, I know all that you
|
| I know all that you’ve been through
|
| I wanna see the empire fall
|
| Before I go, I wanna see justice for 'em all
|
| I wanna see my daughters get married
|
| But I can’t if I’m in the cemetery
|
| I can hear it when it calls
|
| The call of the void I’ll avoid til the very end
|
| 'Til the bad guys lose and the good guys win
|
| 'Til the grabbers lose their grip, ripped from under my skin
|
| I’ma take a deep breath
|
| Everything I need is right in front of me
|
| I wanna bridge the gap and feel the unity
|
| Yeah, everything I need is in the air I breathe
|
| You get back what you give, and I was born to live, born to live
|
| I know all that you’ve been through
|
| Feeling like you might not make it alone
|
| 'Cause I have walked a mile in your shoes
|
| Yeah, I know all that you
|
| I know all that you’ve been through
|
| Oh we yea oh, oh we yea oh, oh we yea oh
|
| I was born to live, born to live
|
| Oh we yea oh, oh we yea oh, oh we yea oh
|
| I was born to live, born to live
|
| When I go to bed at night, I sleep with my demons
|
| Pull the covers tight, the world could be freezing
|
| I try to see the future through my daughter’s eyes
|
| Hoping they can see beyond the grey skies
|
| I know all that you’ve been through
|
| Feeling like you might not make it alone
|
| 'Cause I have walked a mile in your shoes
|
| Yeah, I know all that you
|
| I know all that you’ve been
|
| I know all that you’ve been through
|
| Feeling like you might not make it alone
|
| 'Cause I have walked a mile in your shoes
|
| Yeah, I know all that you
|
| I know all that you’ve been through
|
| Oh we yea oh, oh we yea oh, oh we yea oh
|
| I was born to live, born to live
|
| Oh we yea oh, oh we yea oh, oh we yea oh
|
| I was born to live, born to live |
