I stand here in the hall of this palace
In a world I'm not sure I understand
But fate has left me here in the balance
With thousands of lives in my hands
My people, my people
Don't want to let you down
My God, my God
I know the time is now
Can I truly be the one to save
My people, my people
The weight of the world feels heavy tonight
The things I ask may cost my life
My heart is like thunder, my words not my own
Filled with a strength I've never known
God bless my lips
Was I born for a night like this?
Was I born for a night like this?
Can age-old ways be torn apart
Can gentle words soften a proud man's heart
My people, my people
To your knees fall down
Our God, our God
Goes with us now
Through the small and the weak I know He can save
My people, my people
The weight of the world feels heavy tonight
The things I ask may cost my life
My heart is like thunder, my words not my own
Filled with a strength I've never known
God bless my lips
Was I born for a night like this?
Was I born for a night like this?
The weight of the world feels heavy tonight
The things I ask may cost my life
My heart is like thunder as I kneel at his throne
Filled with a strength I've never known
God bless my lips
Was I born for a night like this?
Was I born for a night like this?
I was born, I was born for a night like this!
I was born!
My people!
I was born!
My people!
