The wise before me chose to refine themselves Melt away their shortcomings by enduring trials A process we will all undertake Even if we try to prevent change Face it before you are pulled in Face it while it's still within Like iron shaped by fire We aren't born this way Shaped by fire We are reborn through pain We aren't born We aren't born this way We are reborn We are reborn through pain Though I too have endured fire I wasn't wise enough to ignite the flame myself But carried enough fuel for a flicker to excel Face it before you are pulled in Face it while it's still within Face it before you are pulled in Face it while it's still within Shaped by fire We aren't born this way Shaped by fire We are reborn through pain We aren't born We aren't born this way We shall reborn through pain Shaped by fire We aren't born this way Shaped by fire We are reborn through pain Through pain We shall reborn We all reborn through pain The time has come To watch the fire grow Find new things to throw in Don't let the flames get low I've grown used to the heat That makes me reevaluate What I carry with me And what should be thrown away Face it before you are pulled in Face it while it's still within Like iron shaped by fire We aren't born this way Shaped by fire We are reborn through pain We aren't born We aren't born this way We are reborn through pain Shaped by fire We aren't born this way Shaped by fire We are reborn through pain We shall reborn We all reborn through pain
