[Verse 1]
He came around the mountain
With fire in his eyes
Driving half a dozen mares
All glistening and white
He said 'Where you think you're going, son?'
I said 'I don't really know
But I'm glad you're here to ask
Me cause I was starting to give up
And it made me think
I was wrong, I've been wrong
[Chorus]
After all, what was I born for?
You can't go back and there's no fast forward
Something that I can finally move towards
After all, what was I born for?
[Verse2]
Now the waves were getting frisky
And I was nervous with the wind
Straining at procedures
But we were starting to give in
In the flash and boom of thunder
I could swear I saw a ghost
But then he smiled across the water
And said 'Step out of the boat'
And I stepped in
Rain and wind, I stepped in
[Chorus]
After all, what was I born for?
You can't go back and there's no fast forward
Something that I can finally move towards
After all, what was I born for?
Storm and wind, i stepped in
[Chorus x2]
After all, what was I born for?
You can't go back and there's no fast forward
Something that I can finally move towards
After all, what was I born for?
