lyrics

Don't wanna be normal
Don't wanna be some average Joe, uh huh
Don't wanna be the one who gets second place
Not gonna be another face in the race
I remember the day when I swore to be different
I remember the way they tried to shut me down, uh huh
Not going away till I make my mark on history
I won't be okay I'll be better

I was born to defy to spread my wings and fly
Don't have to be a cool guy you can call me a freak
I was born to defy to spread my wings and fly
Now I don't have to lie I'll just be unique
Born to defy

Don't wanna be a regular man
Don't wanna be another face in the crowd
I'm not settling for a couple pennies in my hand
No I'm not gonna be anything less than a shooting star

Been to mountaintops and I felt so high
Then the river dropped and I saw no sky
But I'm back in the world and not afraid to fall
Cause I know when you rise you always stand more tall
So when I come rolling through your town
Don't be afraid to show your scars
People say the best medicine is sound
As long as you don't forget who you are
