Born for This Songtext

von Jack Blades

A woman kneeling at a gravesite a white rose in her hand
Deep inside you know she doesn't understand
A car crash left her alone to care for her son
She said I'm gonna make you proud I will raise him up strong

Soldier fighting in a foreign land
He's lying there wounded, holds another brother's hand
Words of comfort, I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna get out alive
To fight another day

Cause I was born for this
I was born for this
Sometimes the road we travel takes a turn and twist,
I guess I knew it way back when
I was born for this

Burnin up the asphalt on a playground in the hood
Shooting hoops till sundown and that boy's lookin good
He found a way to rise above all the addicts and the gangs now
He's a three point shooting star and the kids all chant his name

Tons of fire shooting out from a chapel on the hill
Young ones crying how could this be God's will
Here the sirens coming closer, the firemen saved the day
Rescued all their parents, soot covered as they say

I was born for this
Baby I was born for this
Sometimes your heart finds a passion that your soul can't resist
I guess I knew it way back when
I was born for this

So many angels surround in our lives
And cast in our shadows
And keep the truth alive!!!!!!!

So I play guitar in this rock and roll band
Travelin all over this God given land
Sharing songs from my heart and my soul
For core to the reason
But this one thing I know
I don't know much but this much I know

And I was born for this
I was born for this
Sometimes the road we travel takes a turn and a twist
I think I knew it way back when
I was born for this
I was born for this
Sometimes your heart finds a passion that your soul can't resist
I guess I knew it way back when
I was born for this
