Born for This

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
