[Verse 1]
Had a heart full of hope, I swallowed my pride
Seeing everything I had go away
Praying for delivery now, peace on my mind
Lord, let your grace rain on me
What happened to my freedom, separated my family
Bringing me to this foreign place
Now I'm focused on surviving in the midst of evil
Don't think it's ever gonna be the same

[Chorus]
I wasn't born this way (No, I wasn't born this way, yeah)
No, I wasn't born in pain (Oh, no)
Why do I feel so much shame? (Oh, Lord)

[Verse 2]
When a heart full of love, life on the line
I've seen nothing consistent but change
Praying for delivery now, peace on my mind
Lord, let your grace be on me
Started off liberated, ended up in shackles
Hopeless still looking for that light
Pressure on this journey, not sure if I'm gon' make it
Bruises show my sacrifice

[Chorus]
I wasn't born this way
No, I wasn't born in pain (Oh, no)
Why do I feel so much shame? (Oh, Lord)
