I've seen more than most old men

I've been told before that I could never win

But I lay it on the line knowing every single time

That what I have is worth fighting for

I was born to live through the pain

And I'm a soldier of hope in the firing rain

And I pray I won't die in vain

And I was born to live through the pain

I've been let down when I bet it all

I've stood on the front line

With my back against the wall

But I still serve my fellow men

I'll do everything I can

And I'll risk my life to save my brothers at war

Oh I was born to live through the pain

And I'm a soldier of hope in the firing rain

And I pray I won't die in vain

And I was born to live through the pain

Everyday is the reason I was made

I might leave this world alone

But I still keep fighting on and on

I was born to live through the pain

And I'm a soldier of hope in the firing rain

And though I pray I won't die in vain

I was born to live through the pain

No I was born to live through the pain
