  • 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

    He will long for the feelings
    Standin' 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

    He can wash the warpaint 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

    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

    Warrior, warrior, warrior
    Warrior, warrior, warrior

    The pain takes a backseat
    For a cause, with no applause
    From his country
    No service leaves him lesser
    When he loses his suppressor
    And the pain that comes is deafening

    He can wash the warpaint off his face
    And learn to love a bitter broken place

    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

    Warrior, warrior, warrior
    Warrior, warrior, warrior
    Warrior, warrior, warrior
    Warrior, warrior, warrior

    We're all born in hospitals from 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
    To harvest souls and bear the weight
    And reap the tax that must be paid

    (Warrior, warrior, warrior)

    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

    Warrior, warrior, warrior
    Warrior, warrior, warrior
    Warrior, warrior, warrior
    Warrior, warrior, warrior Writer/s: Zachry Alexander Brown
