Lyrics
We Weren't Born To Follow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apology
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walkin' beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the Sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say: Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
This one's about anyone who does it differently
This one's about the one who curses and spits
This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy
This ain't about givin' up or givin' in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the Sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say: Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Let me hear you say: Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the Sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say: Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Let me hear you say: Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
We weren't born to follow, oh, yeah
We weren't born to follow, oh, yeah
