lyrics

Born to be shot

If you’re born to be shot you will never be drowned
If you’re born to be lost you may hope to be found
You must learn to get up though you want to stay down
If you’re born to be shot you will never be drowned

He was a man of peace, Ghandi was his leading light.
But time made him take up arms. How else could they win the fight.
To free his country, to ease the pain.

Rebels cannot be heroes when human life is lost.
But freedom is never given, success comes at a cost.
Let him without sin cast the first stone.

So many years in prison his voice it grew and grew
Walked from incarceration. Finished what he meant to do.
To free his country, to ease the pain.
