Lyrics

Born to Sing (2015 version)

Man can be king

Seems to have everything

But it comes with a sting

When you were born to sing

Reason doesn't walk in

It’s not done on a whim

Passion's everything

When you were born to sing

Feeling good

Singing the blues

It ain't easy

Keep on paying them dues

When it gets to the part

Well let’s not stop and start

Deep down in your heart

You know you were born to sing

When you came in

No original sin

You were a king

Because you were born to sing

Reason doesn't walk in

It's not done on a whim

Passion's everything

Whеn you were born to sing

Lord, feeling good

Singing the bluеs

Know it ain't easy

Keep on paying them dues

When it comes to the part

Well let's not stop and start

Deep down in your heart

Baby you were born to sing

When it gets to the part

Well let's not stop and start

When the band starts to swing

You were born to sing

When it gets to the part

Well let's not stop and start

When the band starts to swing

You were born to sing

Yes, you were

You were born to sing
