You think you're one of millions but you're one in a million to me

This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain’t about no apology

This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

We weren’t born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren’t born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

This one’s about anyone who does it differently
This one’s about the one who cusses and spits
This ain’t about our livin’ in a fantasy
This ain’t about givin’ up or givin’ in

Yeah, yeah, yeah

We weren’t born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren’t born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We weren’t born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren’t born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We weren’t born to follow, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
We weren’t born to follow, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)

I’m here trying to make a living I ain’t living just to die Never getting back what I’m giving Can someone somewhere help me justify Why these strong hands are on the un-employment line
Now there’s nothing left But what’s on my mind oh ohh oh ohh
Who’s gonna work for the working man (Hurt) for the working man (Work) Get your hands in the dirt Who’s gonna work off the curse (Work) Brother I’ll be damned (Work) If I don’t raise a hand (Work) Whose gonna work work work For the working man, working man
Empty pockets full of worry Had to get two jobs And it was hard enough just getting by With the grace of god I’ll get us through I only know what I know how to do I’m the only one who’s got to look my family in the eye
Day after day Night after night Oh Ohh Oh Ohh
Who’s gonna work for the working man (Hurt) for the working man (Work) Get your hands in the dirt Who’s gonna work off the curse (Work) Brother I’ll be damned (Work) If I don’t raise a hand (Work) Whose gonna work work work For the working man, working man, working man, working man
I lost my pension They took my I.D These were my friends These were my dreams These were my hopes These are my streets Can you hear me?
Who’s gonna work for the working man (Hurt) for the working man (Work) Get your hands in the dirt Who’s gonna work off the curse (Work) Brother I’ll be damned (Work) If I don’t raise a hand (Work) Whose gonna work work work For the working man, working man, working man, working man
These were my friens These were my dreams These were my hopes These are my… streets
