Give me one second on my own
I need some time right now
Give me one solid minute with pen and paper so I can write it out
Give me one good hour so I can think about this day
Give me one whole day so I can finish this song then fly away

Burnt out
With things I got to do
I've been burnt out
With things that make me blue
I've been burnt out
With things I got to do
I've been burnt out
With things that make me blue

I was born to be somebody
I was born to make you move
I was born to lift you up from all these gripping fools
I was born to be somebody
I was born to make you move
I was born to lift you up from all these gripping fools

Burnt out
With things I got to do
I've been burnt out
With things that make me blue
I've been burnt out
With things I got to do
I've been burnt out
With things that make me blue

I was born to be somebody
I was born to make you move
I was born to lift you up from all these gripping fools
I was born to be somebody
I was born to make you move
I was born to lift you up from all these gripping fools

I was born to be somebody
I was born to be somebody
YA
I was born to be somebody
I was born to be somebody
