[Verse 1]
See I got a friend, she is a painter
Linseed oil pumpin' through her veins
When she gave it up, I couldn't believe her
She called me crying just the other day
[Chorus]
If you wanna be what you were born to be
Then you better do what you were born to do
Tell me what is stopping you?
[Verse 2]
See I got a friend, he is a writer
Wanted to make it to the New York Times
Well he gave it up for a little bit of money
Now he's writing copy of a different kind
[Chorus]
If you wanna be what you were born to be
Then you better do what you were born to do
Tell me what is stopping you?
[Bridge]
Fear and uncertainty
That doesn't work for me
I'll take my chances
On safe mediocrity
Where is the life that I dreamed of
So long ago?
[Chorus]
If you wanna be what you were born to be
Then you better do what you were born to do
Tell me what is stopping you?
