Born to Sing lyrics

When

The spotlight hits my face, I'm alive

The stage is where I'll always survive

The only place that I want to be

When

I hear the audience coming in

For me the magic starts to begin

And then I know they come to see me

When I hear the maestro strike up the band

And the drums begin to play

It's the only way that I understand

To live my life each day

I was born to sing forever

Born to sing for you

And as long as we're together

There's nothing else I want to do

I was born to sing forever

To me that's everything

And until the end of time

I know I'm born to sing

When

The rhythm starts to beat in my brain

I sing a verse and then the refrain

And love to hear the sound of applause

When

The crowd appreciate what I do

I find that each performance is new

I go on singing, that is because

There are those who think I'm wasting my time

They say that's life's not just a song

But as long as there is music and rhyme

I know where I belong

I was born to sing forever

Born to sing for you

And as long as we're together

There's nothing else I want to do

(×2):

I was born to sing forever

To me that's everything

And until the end of time

I know I'm born to sing
