Built to Believe

[Verse 1] Woke up in a town that no one names With a notebook full of songs and a hunger I can’t tame Told myself I’d give it all I’ve got Climbing every rung ’til I reach the top [Pre-Chorus] Played to empty rooms Sang through broken mics But every no just fed the fire inside [Chorus] I was built to believe — in something more Chasing every echo through every door They said “slow down,” I said “not yet” I’ve got dreams I haven’t met Even when the nights get cold I still feel that spark take hold ‘Cause I was made Yeah, I was built to believe [Verse 2] Gas-station coffee and 3 a.m. drives Every mile’s a story keeping hope alive No silver spoon, no lucky break Just blood and chords and hearts that ache [Pre-Chorus] But I don’t fold, I don’t fade I just learn from every stage What I am, I can’t fake [Chorus] I was built to believe — to stand up tall Even when I’m up against the wall I’ve been pushed and I’ve been tried But I keep the dream alive When the crowd begins to sing That’s the reason for everything I was made Yeah, I was built to believe [Bridge] I’ve got scars, I’ve got pride I’ve got fire that won’t hide If I fall, I’ll still rise ‘Cause I’m chasing more than just the highs [Final Chorus] I was built to believe — in the climb, the fight In the sound of hope on a sleepless night And even if the lights all die I’ll be singing ’til I fly This is more than just a dream It’s the reason I still breathe I was made Yeah, I was built to believe
