Fast on a rough road riding

High through the mountains climbing

Twistin', turnin', further from my home

Young like a new moon rising

Fierce through the rain and lightning

Wandering out into this great unknown

And I don't want no one to cry

But tell 'em if I don't survive

I was born free

I was born free

I was born free

Born free

Free like a river raging

Strong as the wind I'm facing

Chasing dreams and racing Father Time

Deep like the grandest canyon

Wild like an untamed stallion

If you can't see my heart, you must be blind

You can knock me down and watch me bleed

But you can't keep no chains on me

I was born free

I was born free

I was born free

Born free

And i'm not good at long goodbyes but,

If you look deep into my eyes

I was born free

Calm, facin' danger

Lost, like an unknown stranger

Grateful for my time with no regrets

Close to my destination

Tired, frail and aching

Waiting patiently for the sun to set

And when it's done, believe that I

Will yell it from that mountain high

I was born free

I was born free

I was born free

Born free

And I will bow to the shining sea

And celebrate God's grace on thee

I was born free
