About Born to Try

"Born to Try" is a song by Australian recording artist and songwriter Delta Goodrem, written by Audius Mtawarira and produced by Ric Wake for her debut studio album Innocent Eyes (2003). The song was released as the first single off the studio album on 11 November 2002 by Epic Records and Daylight Records. It was later featured on her first Japanese compilation album Innocent Eyes (2006). The song was co-written by her while she was staying at her home in Sydney, Australia for the production of the studio album, as well as written and producing four other songs together. Though many of the public consider this as Goodrem's breakthrough single, it is not her debut single. As the song features instrumentation with a piano, guitars (acoustic and electric) and drums, the song is a low tempo pop song, with influences of piano pop and pop rock. Lyrically, it talks about taking chances and leading your independence. The song was universally praised from music critics, praising Goodrem's vocal abilities and lyrical content. The song is considered as Goodrem's signature song, as the song managed to enter charts around the world, including two number ones in her native Australia and New Zealand. The song also peaked at number three in the United Kingdom, her first single to chart outside the Oceania. It also charted in many European countries including Ireland, Switzerland and Germany.

Doing everything that I believe in, 
Going by the rules that I've been taught, 
More understanding the world surround me, 
And protected from the walls of love, 
All that you see is me, 
And all I truly believe, 

That I was born to try, 
I've learned to love,
Be understanding and believe in life, 
But you gotta make choices, 
Beyond the rights, 
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice 
The things you like 
But I was born to try.

All that you see is me,
And all I truly believe,
All that you see is me,
And all I truly believe,

That I was born to try,
I've learned to love,
Be understanding,
And believe in life,
But you gotta make choices, 
Beyond the right,
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice 
The things you like
But I was born to try,

But you gotta make choices,
Beyond your right,
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice 
The things you like,
I was born to try.
