We Weren't Born To Follow
Bon Jovi Lyrics

This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
Dedicated to the dedicated individuals who search for and create wonders

This one goes out to the ones in need
Acknowledging the struggles of those who require assistance

This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
Recognizing the presence of those who has a bad past or doubtful outlook

This ain't about no apology
Not asking for forgiveness, but instead promoting a message

This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
The pathway to success was created by those with nothing to lose and everything to gain

This road was paved by the winds of change
The transformation towards a better life was caused by uncontrollable forces

Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
Standing with those who are either guilty or blameless of their actions

How will you raise your hand when they call your name?
What will be your response when you are called upon to take action?

We weren't born to follow
We were meant to lead our own paths

Come on and get up off your knees
Don't bow down to the pressures of the world and take control

When life is a bitter pill to swallow
During difficult times, it can be hard to persevere

You gotta hold on to what you believe
Keep believing in your values and principles

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
Have faith that the future hold better things

And that your saints and sinners bleed
Everyone experiences pain and suffering

You gotta stand up for what you believe
Fight for what you think is right

This one's about anyone who does it differently
This song speaks to those who lead unconventional lives

This one's about the one who cusses and spits
Even those who are unrefined can achieve greatness

This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy
Avoiding unrealistic expectations and facing reality

This ain't about givin' up or givin' in
Not succumbing to failure or adversity

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Encouraging listeners to join the movement and take action
