Born to Die

Moma was a moon, Daddy was a Sun

I'm a man shot down by a law man's gun

All must die and baby look my way

He said listen to me son while you still can

You've gotta take lifes cards with a loving hand

You can never fight another day

Because we're born to die

In this life, when its time

Take a bow

What you leave behind

You've got a love for life

Take your time, make it right

Before you go, you can shine a light

Guard your promise, cross my heart

Told my secret to the stars

Now i know the reason why

We're born to die

I was fifteen, I knew it all

I tried to run before I knew how to crawl

And couldn't nobody seem to make me understand

But in this life you've gotta pick your fights

And even if you loose you gotta know you tried

Sometimes you've got to fall before you dance

Because we're born to die

In this life, when its time

Take a bow

What you leave behind

You've got a love for life

Take your time, make it right

Before you go you can shine a light

Guard your promise, cross my heart

Told my secret to the stars

Now i know the reason why

We're born to die

Because we're born to die

In this life, when its time

Take a bow

What you leave behind

You've got a love for life

Take your time, make it right

Before you go you can shine a light

Guard your promise, cross my heart

Told my secret to the stars

Now i know the reason why

We're born to die

Born to die
