Anne Soldaat - Born To Perform lyrics

rate me

I was born to perform in another life

I was born to die unknown

And the life that I choose

It won’t make it to the news

Please let me die alone

I dreamed I was like Freddie Mercury

But sure he was one of a kind

I can’t lie I can’t fake

Guess I’m more like Nick Drake

Not the worst you can find

Help me in time I don’t need a home

Just a place I can write

Because it’s all in my head you know

It's a place I can hide

Should art be about my inner self

Or should it please as many as it can

I can’t speak for a crowd

When the words they come out

And that’s an art in itself

How many lives can a man uphold

How many dreams can he chase

Or is it all about letting go

And just keeping your face

I was born to be alive

And to die on a stage

I don’t care about the gold

Let me sing 'till I’m old

And let me learn about life

Because it’s all in my head you know

It's a place I can hide

A place I can hide

A place I can hide
