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
