Born To Live - 311

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
