[Verse 1]
This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apologies

[Verse 2]
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
Life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
[Post-Chorus]
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
This one's about anyone who does it differently
This one's about that one who cusses and spits
This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy
This ain't about givin' up or givin' in

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born (born) to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

[Post-Chorus]
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Oh, guitar!
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

[Post-Chorus]
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

[Outro]
We weren't born to follow, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
We weren't born to follow, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
Uh
