This song reflects the life situation of a former friend after a major cut in his life.
After that he just wanted to leave everything behind and just go his own way.
To give himself courage, he invokes the same words over and over again, as if in a litany.
lyrics
'Wasn't Born To Follow'
In a summernight I keep on lockin' for the light,
please can you tell me have you found it in your mind.
In a summernight I keep on lockin' for the light,
please can you tell me have you found it in your mind.
Everyday some people say,
please follow me on my own way,
'cause I don't wanna be so far alone.
But I wasn't born to follow, I'm even here to make my own way now.
But I wasn't born to follow, I'm even here to make my own way now.
In a summernight,
now I'm following my own light
on my own way,
the night turns into day.
In a summernight,
now I'm following my own light
on my own way,
the night turns into day.
Everyday some people say,
please follow me on my own way,
'cause I don't wanna be so far alone.
But I wasn't born to follow, I'm even here to make my own way now.
But I wasn't born to follow, I'm even here to make my own way now.
In a summernight, yeah in a summernight I wasn't born to follow.
In a summernight, yeah in a summernight I wasn't born to follow.
Everyday some people say,
please follow me on my own way,
'cause I don't wanna be so far alone.
But I wasn't born to follow, I'm even here to make my own way now.
But I wasn't born to follow, I'm even here to make my own way now.
But I wasn't born to follow, I'm even here to make my own way now.
But I wasn't born to follow, I'm even here to make my own way now.

The songs of Silverbird fill the full range in-between Singer/Songwriter and Rock, from melodic ballads up to stirring up-
tempo songs. Catchy melodies, expressive power and a distinctive musical style are signature features of the band. The lyrics are about dreams, big emotions, about dayly struggle and longings and tell stories from the journey through life....more
