I Was Born
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.
I was born to do
Something no one’s ever done
No one’s ever done before
I was born to go
Somewhere no one’s ever gone
No one’s ever gone before, oh
A slice of the Moon is
My patch of green
I don’t want a ticket
To the same routine
I want to see
The sights unseen
I want the extraordinary
Everybody’s waking to the same clock
I could never be another
Chip off the block
'Cause I was born to do
Something no one’s ever done
No one’s ever done before
I was born to go
Somewhere no one’s ever gone
No one’s ever gone before
I was born to be
Someone no one’s ever been
No one’s ever been before, oh
Don’t need a map
I can’t be directed
I’ve got a madness
Don’t need the method
My heart is a weapon
And my mind’s electric
I’ll shock the world
When you least expect it
Everybody’s betting
On the big guy
But don’t underestimate
The sting of the butterfly, oh
'Cause I was born to do
Something no one’s ever done
No one’s ever done before
I was born to go
Somewhere no one’s ever gone
No one’s ever gone before
I was born to be
Someone no one’s ever been
No one’s ever been before
Before
There’s a road out in front of me
Nobody can see
I'm paving it as I go
Gonna take it wherever it leads
'Cause I want to be somewhere
No one has been before
I was born to do
I was born to go
I was born to be someone
I was born to do
Something no one’s ever done
No one’s ever done before
I was born to go
Somewhere no one’s ever gone
No one’s ever gone before
I was born to be
Someone no one’s ever been
I was born to do
I was born to go
I was born to be
Someone no one’s ever been
No one’s ever been before
