Born For Greatness Lyrics
I am a man at war and I am fighting for
All of the broken people
All of the people thrown overboard
They always try to shame us
But they don’t speak the language
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
Somebody sound the alarm
A fire was set in the dark
It’s time that you know
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
It doesn’t matter if the world’s gone mad
If we just hold on, if we just hold on, yeah
The sky is falling and the world has gone mad
And we sing our songs and we just hold on, yeah
So if you’re running, stop running
One life, one chance, start living
Sing it louder just to let the world know
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
We’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
We’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
They say that I’m reckless because I’m relentless
They spit on my face and cursing my name
They’re taking my life in vengeance
Yeah, you can try and blame us
And try to take what’s sacred
We’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
Somebody sound the alarm
A fire was set in the dark
It’s time that you know
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
It doesn’t matter if the world’s gone mad
If we just hold on, if we just hold on, yeah
The sky is falling and the world has gone mad
And we sing our songs and we just hold on, yeah
We’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
Somebody sound the alarm
It’s time that you know
It doesn’t matter if the world’s gone mad
If we just hold on, if we just hold on, yeah
Sing it louder just to let the world know
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
We’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
We were born for greatness
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
All of the broken people
All of the people thrown overboard
They always try to shame us
But they don’t speak the language
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
A fire was set in the dark
It’s time that you know
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
If we just hold on, if we just hold on, yeah
The sky is falling and the world has gone mad
And we sing our songs and we just hold on, yeah
One life, one chance, start living
Sing it louder just to let the world know
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
We’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
They spit on my face and cursing my name
They’re taking my life in vengeance
Yeah, you can try and blame us
And try to take what’s sacred
We’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
A fire was set in the dark
It’s time that you know
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
If we just hold on, if we just hold on, yeah
The sky is falling and the world has gone mad
And we sing our songs and we just hold on, yeah
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
No, we’re not nameless
We’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
It’s time that you know

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I’m not completely sure, but I think it may have to do with the lack of recognition towards our true heroes. I also think it may be related to how older generations treat us younger kids, like us milennials and even Gen Z. I think it may go into the issue of how we are treated as issues to society, rather than the people who will take it over sometime soon. But I need to look into it more and hear other people’s thoughts about it.
For me, this song speaks about how the older generations (baby boomers, gen x) disrespect and blame us millennials and gen z for things that are wrong in the world, despite the fact we are actively trying to make the world a better place for ourselves.
I believe this song is from the viewpoint of a millennial standing up for what they believe and helping their fellow humans who have been disregarded by previous societies (I am a man at war, and I am fighting for, all of the broken people, and all of the people thrown overboard), and the older generations giving them hell for it but the hatred having no effect (They always tried to shame us, but they don't speak the language; They say that I'm reckless, because I'm relentless). As long as the youth have hope that they can make a positive change, it will come in the end (It doesn't matter if the world has gone mad, if we just hold on; one life one chance start living, sing it louder just to let the world know .... we were born for greatness)
Overall the message is: don't give up because you will in the end (You can try and shame us, and take what's sacred, but we're not nameless .... we were born for greatness)
