Born To Try Lyrics
Doing everything that I believe in
Going by the rules that I've been taught
More understanding of what's around me
And protected from the walls of love
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
No point in talking what you should have been
And regretting the things that went on
Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fate
Remove the clouds look at the bigger picture
And all that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
All that you see is me
All I truly believe
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
this is a song about going for what matters in life even if you fail... love it :)
Not bad for a humble Aussie soapie star eh? She has the sweetest voice in the world. I reckon she must eat millions of lollies :)
I`m surprised there are so few comments on this one.
This song always makes me happy when I hear it and it makes me feel like good :-)
The message of this song is very obvious, so I think I'll stick to the mechanics of it in my commentary. A BEAUTIFUL song, beautiful piano bit, especially gorgeous live and with piano and guitar. Delta is amazing, and she should definitely write more with Audius, with how well this one came out. It's fitting that it was her first no.1 single. She says that this was the one really defining song for her, that made her feel like Delta Goodrem. And it was worked really well into Neighbours, too. In all, this is just a beautiful song, perfectly showcasing Delta's abilities--at singing, at acting in Neighbours, at playing the piano. I would not be disappointed if a few more Born To Try-like songs came out in the future (like Be Strong and Together We Are One...)
I love this song. It's very cool. It's just about finding what you love in life and doing it, no matter what!
i miss the old delta! this song is wonderful =)
In my opinion the lyrics to this song are incredibly clichéd, as are the chord progressions which bring to mind "Kockin' on Heaven's Door" - I actually cringe listening to it. Pointless schmaltz
*Knockin'
what an apt typo lol
I see your point Joe_Dull; lines such as "sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like" seem like cliche fillers that fit perfectly to the melody but lyrically seem out of place (the album's filled with them). But aside from that, and aside from the unashamed pop-ness of the track, I LOVE this song. My favourite track off one of my favourite albums.
I think it really describes where Delta was at... and where other people are at at a given point in their lives. "Doing everything that I believe in"... "More understanding of what's around me"... "Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fates". It's such a 'growing up' anthem.
I'd love to hear a piano acoustic of this song, and I'm sure one exists somewhere, but I think it'd be really powerful.
This song is one I heard on the radio after I got some medical news that (would have)changed my life forever. I couldn't stop crying afterwards. That's how I learned of Delta Goodrem and since I just love her....... Great voice, great singer, great song. Love it.
