“We weren’t born to follow, come on and get up off your knees When life is a bitter pill to swallow, you got to 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 got to stand up for what you believe. . .” (Bon Jovi, “We Weren’t Born To Follow”)
