I Was Born Lyrics

[Intro]
I was born to do something
No one's ever done, no one's ever done before
I was born to go somewhere
No one's ever gone, no one's ever gone before, oh!

[Verse 1]
A slice of the moon is my patch of green
I don't want a ticket to the same routine
I want to see the sights unseen
I want the extraordinary

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's waking to the same clock
I could never be another chip off the block

[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to do something
No one's ever done, no one's ever done before
I was born to go somewhere
No one's ever gone, no one's ever gone before
I was born to be someone
No one's ever been, no one's ever been before

[Verse 2]
Don't need a map, I can't be directed
I've got a madness, don't need the method
My heart is a weapon and my mind's electric
I'll shock the world when you least expect it

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's betting on the big guy
But don't underestimate the sting of the butterfly, oh!

[Chorus]
Cause I was born to do something
No one's ever done, no one's ever done before
I was born to go somewhere
No one's ever gone, no one's ever gone before
I was born to be someone
No one's ever been, no one's ever been before, before

[Bridge]
There's a road out in front of me nobody can see
I'm paving it as I go
Gonna take it wherever it leads, cause I want to be
Somewhere no one has been before

I was born to do
I was born to go
I was born to be someone, oh!

[Chorus]
And I was born to do something
No one's ever done, no one's ever done before
I was born to go somewhere
No one's ever gone, no one's ever gone before
I was born to be someone no one's ever been

[Outro]
I was born to do
I was born to go
I was born to be someone
No one's ever been, no one's ever been before
