Fm
I'm checking my vital signs
Drawing my battle lines
Going to war again
C#
Feeling the rhythm inside of my chest
All I need is just a pen
    A#
I know I was born for this
    D#
I know I was born for this

Don't care for the critics,
my words are like physics:
A force that they can't stop
They just don't get it,
I think they forget I'm not
Done 'til I'm on top
I know I was born for this
I know I was born for this

C#
I believe, I believe
We can write our story
D#
I believe, I believe

We can be an army

Chorus:
Fm
We are the warriors,
who learned to love the pain
C#
We come from different places,
but have the same name
G#
'Cause we were, 'cause we were
'Cause we were, 'cause we were
D#
Born for this, we were born for this
Fm
We are the broken ones,
who chose to spark a flame
C#
Watch as our fire rages,
our hearts are never tame
G#
'Cause we were, 'cause we were

'Cause we were, 'cause we were
D#
Born for this, we were born for this

I've struggled for years and through all the tears
I've faced the doubts I hide
I never gave into my fears deep within cause
I heard my voice inside
I know I was born for this
I know I was born for this

I will never lose my voice
If I cut out all the noise
I know I was born for this
I know I was born for this
I believe, I believe we can write our story
I'll believe, I'll believe we can be an army (Hoo)

Chorus

Fm
These words that I write are for someone like me
To know you're not alone
C#
The moves that you make ya they come with mistakes
Don't ever lose your hope
      A#
Just know, you were born for this
      D#
Just know, you were born for this

Bridge

D#
We were born for this
We were born for this
