Born For This

Mandisa


Tom: Dm

Dm
Feels like I've been holding my breath, 

F
trying to still my restless heart

C
Everything hangs on my next step, 

Gm
finding my nerve, playing my part

Dm
I found shelter underneath His crown, 

F
found favor inside His eyes

C
Rock this boat, and I just might drown, 

Gm
honesty seems to come with a price

Dm
There's a time to hold your tongue, 


time to keep your head down

                            Gm
There's a time but it's not now




                    Dm  Bb     F
Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited

                    Dm             Bb             F
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor

C                   Dm
Sometimes you gotta move, 

     Bb        F
when everybody else says you should stay

Bb          Gm
No way, no, not today



          Dm      Bb          F
You gotta ask, if you want an answer

    C               Dm    Bb             F
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd

Bb                                     Gm
Long before your heart could run the risk
                      Dm   Bb
You were born for this

F        C        Dm      Bb     F     C
You were born for this



Dm
I'm leaning on the ones before me, 

F
my father's father's dreams

C
I'm standing on the top of their shoulders 

Gm
calling the One delivering me

                  Dm
There's a time to hold your tongue, 

        F              Bb
