Lyrics
Born to be Loved
He was born to be loved by you
Born to be loved by you
And no matter where he?ll go
No matter what he?ll do
He was born to be loved by you
Did you ever think you?d feel an angel?s breath
That you?d get to hold someone heaven sent
Things will never be the same
This precious life is yours to name
Part of your family?
She was born to be loved by you
Born to be loved by you
And no matter where she?ll go
No matter what she?ll do
She was born to be loved by you
Lifetime of laughing and of giving
Few trials here and there there?s no denying
But a lifetime of loving, a lifetime of knowing
Ever part of you?
Verse in Maori?..
Ko te taonga nei ra koe
Tuku mai no nga tupuna
Na te whanau I tupu mai
Naau I tupu mai I te whanau
Mo ake tonu atu
Children
I was born to be loved by you
I was born to be loved by you
And no matter where I?ll go
No matter what I?ll do
I was born to be loved by you?
