down at the railroad station there’s people gettin’ on
some are a goin’ north some are a goin’ south i’m just goin’ to be gone
some people are born to be takers others just wanna give
some people live just to love but i just love to live
for i was just born to be exactly what you see
nothing more or less i’m not the worst or the best
i just try to be exactly what you see today and every day i’m just me
when people say their life is rough i wonder compared to what
some are wantin’ more and more’s gettin’ less i just want what i’ve got
some wanna live on a hill others down by the sea
some wanna live inside high walls i just wanna live free
for i was just born
oh i was just born to be exactly what you see today and every day i’m just me
