Pull back the curtains, snap off the string
This tired and lonely man is offering everything
Tie up the main mast, boys, we're going into the storm
Pa**ion's not found in roses, but it's in the thorns
Farewell to the reckless, I want the real thing
This life is knocking, son, open up and let the truth ring
Posing is a past time. Ring a bell for selfishness
I'm through with fallacy. Whatever happened to progress?
(Push forward. I won't stop. Keep going till I drop)
For this I was born... born, born for this. (This time I give it all)
For this I was born... born, born for this. (Upright and standing tall)
For this I was born... born, born for this. (This time I give it all)
For this I was born... for this. (Can't stop)
To all my brothers, to all my brothers' sons
You can't find freedom in money, it has to be won
Spin your wheels in this graveyard; build your casket of chrome
You're on a road to nowhere, boy, and it's taking you home
(Push forward. I won't stop. Keep going till I drop)
For this I was born... born, born for this. (This time I give it all)
For this I was born... born, born for this. (Upright and standing tall)
For this I was born... born, born for this. (This time I give it all)
For this I was born... for this. (Can't stop)
No one told me I'd pay for this. Drinking pleasure that's turned to piss
Standing firm on this sphere of sand. King of the world, yet I see no land
No one told me how to deal with this. Shooting targets that don't exist
Standing firm while I sink in the mud. My heart is pumping, but I have no blood
For this I was born... born, born for this. For this I was born... born, born for this
For this I was born... born, born for this. For this I was born... for this
For this I was born... born, born for this. (This time I give it all)
For this I was born... born, born for this. (Upright and standing tall)
For this I was born... born, born for this. (This time I give it all)
For this I was born... for this. (Go...)
