This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles This one goes out to the ones in need This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical This ain't about no apology This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry This road was paved by the winds of change Walking beside the guilty and the innocent How will you raise your hand when they call your name? Yeah, yeah, yeah
We weren't born to follow Come on and get up off your knees When life is a bitter pill to swallow You gotta hold on to what you believe Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow And that your saints and sinners bleed We weren't born to follow You gotta stand up for what you believe Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
This one's about anyone who does it differently This one's about the one who cusses and spits This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy This ain't about givin' up or givin' in Yeah, yeah, yeah

We find fault with the world, while the faults lie in our own selves. The world is not at fault; except that we are full of flaws. We make fun of the world for no reason But if others spoke about us, we were no better than be mocked at. A wolf does not eat the flesh of another of its kind But we eat the flesh of each other knowingly We have worn the sheep’s clothing to deceive the people; But woe unto the wild animal if it strays by us! We have reduced religion to mere show and formalities. And thus, we deceive those who look at us.
