Born to live
Born to die
Born to be high
Born to fly
Born to drown
Born to be let down
Born to fight
Born to be the light
Born to find
Born to be kind

Born to be me
Born to be free
Happy birthday to myself
You can keep your perfect
You can keep your expectations
You can keep your beautiful.

I wake up every morning loving all I am
I live my life every day doing the best I can
When the day is done, I know I'm my kind of beautiful.

Don't come to me looking for perfect,
I left that behind a long time ago.
Don't expect me to meet your expectations,
I passed those a long time ago
Don't come to me and tell me I'm not beautiful.

Because I am
I am my own kind of beautiful.

Why
I was once so alive
and the world was so colorful
If I open my eyes will the color return?
I know this hurricane.
I’ve felt these waves.
Will You calm the storm in me?
I can’t help but think this is only routine.
I bow my head but where is my faith?

Where do my words fall?
Am I the last thing on Your mind?
