Lyrics 311 – Born To Live

Back when I was just a kid
Skin was paper-thin
Folded up like origami
Turned the sensitivity in me into an army

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
Cuz 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’m a take a deep breath

Everything I need is right in front of me
I wanna bridge the gap and feel the unity

I know all that you’ve been through
Feeling like you might not make it alone
Cuz 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
Cuz I have walked a mile in your shoes
Yeah I know all that you
I know all that you’ve been through

I know all that you’ve been through
Feeling like you might not make it alone
Cuz 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
