  • Doing everything that I believe in,
    Going by the rules that I've been taught,
    More understanding the world surround me,
    And protected from the walls of love,
    All that you see is me,
    And all I truly believe,

    That I was born to try,
    I've learned to love,
    Be understanding and believe in life,
    But you gotta make choices,
    Beyond the rights,
    Sometimes you gotta sacrifice
    The things you like
    But I was born to try.

    All that you see is me,
    And all I truly believe,
    All that you see is me,
    And all I truly believe,

    That I was born to try,
    I've learned to love,
    Be understanding,
    And believe in life,
    But you gotta make choices,
    Beyond the right,
    Sometimes you gotta sacrifice
    The things you like
    But I was born to try,

    But you gotta make choices,
    Beyond your right,
    Sometimes you gotta sacrifice
    The things you like,
    I was born to try. Writer/s: AUDIUS MTAWARIRA, DELTA GOODREM

  • Raymond from Sydney , AustraliaI once supplanted lyrics for this song:
    and you learn to make choices not wrong but right
    and you NEVER sacrifice the things you like
    because you were born to fly!
    I'm not a superstar, but I write songs as a hobby, see my songs at andjesus.
