Warrior

[Chorus]
No one's born to be a warrior
No one born an average man
We made one or the other
And we try to understand
Try to understand

[Verse 1]
He will long for the feeling
Standing strong with his brothers before the enemy
He will miss the quiet pride
Of his men at his side as he leads them into victory

[Pre-Chorus]
He can wash the war paint off his face
And learn to love a bitter broken place
But nothing quite compares to the taste
He can't replace it, no, no, no

[Chorus]
No one's born to be a warrior
No one born an average man
We made one or the other
And we try to understand
Try to understand

[Post-Chorus]
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warrior

[Verse 2]
The pain takes a backseat for a cause
No applause from his country
No service leaves him lesser when he loses his suppressor
And the pain that comes is deafening

[Pre-Chorus]
He can wash the war paint off his face
And learn to love a bitter broken place

[Chorus]
No one's born to be a warrior
No one born an average man
We made one or the other
And we try to understand
Try to understand

[Post-Chorus]
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warrior

[Bridge]
We are born in hospitals in different states
To moms and dads who work and pray
That we'll be saved, amazing grace
The chosen few get shipped away
For one more mile and one more day
And to harvest souls and bear the weight
And reap the tax that must be paid
Warrior, warrior, warrior

[Chorus]
No one's born to be a warrior
No one born an average man
We made one or the other
And we try to understand
Try to understand

[Post-Chorus]
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Warrior, warrior, warrior
