Lyrics

[Verse 1] Moma was a moon, Daddy was a Sun Of a man shot down by a law man's gun On his dying day he looked my way He said listen to me son while you still can You gotta take life's cards with a loving hand And you can live to fight another day [Chorus] Because we're born to die In this life, when its time Take a bow What you leave behind You've got a love for life Take your time, make it right Before you go, you can shine a light Guard your promise, cross my heart Told my secret to the stars Now I know the reason why We're born to die [Verse 2] I was fifteen, I knew it all I tried to run before I knew how to crawl And couldn't nobody seem to make me understand But in this life, you've gotta pick your fights And even if you loose you gotta know you tried Sometimes you've got to fall before you dance [Chorus] Because we're born to die In this life, when its time Take a bow What you leave behind You've got a love for life Take your time, make it right Before you go you can shine a light Guard your promise, cross my heart Told my secret to the stars Now I know the reason why We're born to die [Interlude] [Chorus] Because we're born to die In this life, when its time Take a bow What you leave behind You've got a love for life Take your time, make it right Before you go you can shine a light Guard your promise, cross my heart Told my secret to the stars Now I know the reason why We're born to die Born to die
