Born to Lead

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
With eyes closed tightly I march so blindly Pretending every thing's fine 'Cause you're there to keep me in line I don't want your guidance I'll break my silence So sick of asking and being denied, and now I realize [Chorus:] We're holding the key to unlock our destiny We were born to lead We're finally free, no longer following We were born to lead We were born to lead You can't ignore me You can't think for me Your world will come crashing down to the ground 'Cause I figured you out [Chorus] I use to think I'm all alone But now I see our numbers grow I'm not afraid to break away Think on my own With eyes wide open My new life begins Without you there to tell me when, where, and how And you can't stop me now! [Chorus]
