Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were born for better days
We were born for better days
We were born for better days
Find a way
[Verse 2]
Ay, ay
Ay, ay
Ay, ay
[Verse 3]
People walkin' around like the world's about to end
And if you're askin' me, then I would agree
These days we all feel small, my friend
It's gettin' harder and harder to hold our heads up high
[Verse 4]
Baby, let's circle the wagons, show all the dragons
They don't own the sky, we know how to fly
[Verse 5]
Gravity can't hold us down
We're movin' at the speed of sound
Past the point, from here on out
There's no going back
[Verse 6]
'Cause we were born for better days
We'll find a way, yeah, we're gonna be bigger
Don't give up, you're more than enough
Believe me, love, yeah, you're gonna be bigger
[Verse 7]
Ay, ay
[Verse 8]
Lookin' at everybody else and you hate yourself
And it hurts your heart
And, yeah, it's easy to let it make you forget it
You are perfect the way you are
[Verse 9]
Gravity can't hold you down
You're movin' at the speed of sound
Past the point, from here on out
There's no going back
[Verse 10]
'Cause you were born for better days
You'll find a way, yeah, you're gonna be bigger
Don't give up, you're more than enough
Believe me, love, yeah, you're gonna be bigger
[Verse 11]
If they're uninvited, don't shut your mouth, don't keep quiet
Just let 'em know that they can't try it
That this body's your temple and they can't buy it
'Cause nobody's money, no amount of power
No kind of bait can make you take it and hate yourself
For what they did, you won't forget, you can forgive
They think they're big, but you're bigger
[Verse 12]
'Cause you were born for better days
You'll find a way, yeah, you're gonna be bigger
Don't give up, you're more than enough
Believe me, love, yeah, you're gonna be bigger
[Verse 13]
You were born for better days
You'll find a way, yeah, you're gonna be bigger
Don't give up, you're more than enough
Believe me, love, yeah, you're gonna be bigger
[Verse 14]
Ay, ay
You're gonna be bigger
Ay, ay
Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be
Gonna be bigger
Ay, ay
Oh
[Verse 15]
Thank you
