Born To Lead
Hoobastank Lyrics

With eyes closed tightly
I am moving forward blindly and without direction

I march so blindly
I am moving forward without understanding of my surroundings

Pretending every thing's fine
I am putting on a facade and not acknowledging the problems I am facing

'Cause you're there to keep me in line
I am relying on someone else to provide guidance and direction

I don't want your guidance
I no longer need or want someone to tell me what to do

I'll break my silence
I will speak up and stand up for myself

So sick of asking and being denied, and now I realize
I have become tired of being rejected and have come to a realization

[Chorus:]
The chorus emphasizes the theme of being born to lead and being free from following others

We're holding the key to unlock our destiny
We have the power to determine our own future and paths in life

We were born to lead
As individuals, we have a natural ability to lead others and make decisions for ourselves

We're finally free, no longer following
We are free from the constraints of following others and can make our own choices

You can't ignore me
I will no longer be ignored or disregarded

You can't think for me
I am capable of making my own decisions and thinking for myself

Your world will come crashing down to the ground
If you try to control or limit me, your world will face consequences

'Cause I figured you out
I have discovered the true intentions behind your actions and behavior

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the theme of being born to lead and emphasizes that we should think for ourselves and not follow others blindly

I use to think I'm all alone
I used to believe that I was alone in facing my struggles

But now I see our numbers grow
I have realized that there are others like me who also want to break away

I'm not afraid to break away
I am no longer afraid to leave behind the familiar and embark on a new path

Think on my own
I will now rely on my own thoughts and decisions

With eyes wide open
I am now fully aware of my surroundings and ready to face whatever comes my way

My new life begins
I am starting a new chapter in life and creating a new path for myself

Without you there to tell me when, where, and how
I am no longer relying on someone else to dictate my choices and decisions

And you can't stop me now!
I am unstoppable and ready to take charge of my life
