Born for This

Born for This - Jack Blades

Written by：Jack Blades/Jim Peterik

Wu we don't not 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

Burning up the asphalt on a playground in the hood

Shooting hoops till sundown and that boy's looking 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

Traveling 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
