I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don’t make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can’t kill a man that was born to be born again
Been shaded in the shadow of doubt
So lost, thought I couldn’t be found
Everybody tried to count me out
So that I can’t lie
I barely got by by the skin of my teeth (Ooh)
Sinkin’ sand up under my feet (Ooh)
And I’ll be damned if I ever let the end of me (Ooh)
Get the best of me, you see
I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don’t make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can’t kill a man that was born to be born again
(Oh)
Born to be born again
(Oh)
Bent down at the end of my rope
Hangin’ on by the thread of my soul
Givin’ up just ain’t in my bones
I keep my head held high
‘Cause ain’t no climb that is ever too steep (Ooh)
The waters rise, but they’re never too deep (Ooh)
I’ll be damned if I ever let the end of me (Ooh)
Get the best of me, you see
I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don’t make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can’t kill a man that was born to be born again
(Oh)
I was born to be born again
(Oh)
Can’t kill a man that was born to be born again
Can’t kill a man, can’t kill a man that was (Oh)
Born to be born, born to be born again
Can’t kill a man, can’t kill a man that was (Oh)
I was born to be born again
Can’t kill a man, can’t kill a man that was
Born to be born again
Can’t kill a man, can’t kill a man that was
You can’t kill a man that was born to be born again
