Fast on a rough road riding
High through the mountains climbing
Twistin', turnin', further from my homeYoung like a new moon rising
Fierce through the rain and lightning
Wandering out into this great unknownAnd I don't want no one to cry
But tell 'em if I don't surviveI was born free
I was born free
I was born free
Born freeFree like a river raging
Strong as the wind I'm facing
Chasing dreams and racing Father TimeDeep like the grandest canyon
Wild like an untamed stallion
If you can't see my heart, you must be blindYou can knock me down and watch me bleed
But you can't keep no chains on meI was born free
I was born free
I was born free
Born freeAnd i'm not good at long goodbyes but, if you look deep into my eyesI was born freeCalm, facin' danger
Lost, like an unknown stranger
Grateful for my time with no regretsClose to my destination
Tired, frail and aching
Waiting patiently for the sun to setAnd when it's done, believe that I
Will yell it from that mountain highI was born free
I was born free
I was born free
Born freeAnd I will bow to the shining sea
And celebrate God's grace on theeI was born free
I was born free
I was born free
Born free
