Lyrics
I was born for this
Ever had a dream with you as long as you can remember
Ever knew that when it came true, you'd be ready
Ever willing to take the chances, whatever circumstances
Always reminding yourself
No one understood why I did what I did
No one felt the passion that kept me going
No one understood my choices, in spite of outer voices
I was listening to myself
I was born for this
I was born for this
Turned out exactly as I dreamed and I
Never wanted anything so bad
I gave all I had
Because I always knew I was born for this
When I remember the story of my journey
When I remember the obstacles I faced
Reflecting on the signs, coming right on time
I knew one day I'd say
This is it. This is it.
There were times I felt like giving up
But I'm glad I never did
Right here, right now, all of what is going on
This is it!
I was born for this
I was born for this
Turned out exactly as I dreamed and I
Never wanted anything so bad
I gave all I had
Because I always knew
I always knew I was born for this
