311 - Born To Live lyrics

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 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 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 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
