Transcendentalism Song - 2
We Weren't Born To Follow by Jon Bon Jovi (0:52 - 1:22)
This song also demonstrates transcendentalist themes, including individuality and connection to nature. The lyrics inspire the listener to believe in what you believe, and to never be afraid to support said belief. The lyrics also explain how one's beliefs hold great power, and that power can do great things. As Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, "to be great is to be misunderstood." Only you know your beliefs and only you can determine how you use them. Others may misinterpret your beliefs, yet that should be no detriment to you and your beliefs.
