[Verse 1]
Man can be king
Seem to have everything
But it comes with a sting
When you were born to sing

[Verse 2]
Reason doesn't walk in
It's not done on a whim
Passion's everything
When you were born to sing

[Bridge]
Feeling good
Singing the blues
It ain't easy
Keep on paying dues

[Verse 3]
When it gets to the part
Well, let's not stop and start
Deep down in your heart
You know you were born to sing

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
When you came in
No original sin
You were a king
Because you were born to sing

[Verse 2]
Reason doesn't walk in
It's not done on a whim
Passion's everything
When you were born to sing

[Bridge]
Lord, feeling good
Singing the blues
Keep on keeping on
Paying them dues

[Verse 3]
When it comes to the part
Well, let's not stop and start
Deep down in your heart
Baby, you were born to sing

[Verse 5]
When it gets to the part
When the band starts to swing
Then you know everything
'Cause you were born to sing
When it gets to the part
When the band starts to swing
Then you know everything
'Cause you were born to sing
[Instrumental Outro]
