On the day I became a legend
Holy fire rained down from the clouds
And the spirit came, callin' out my name
And I spoke the truth... out loudSo a legend was born in the backwoods
When I found the strength to be me
Cuz I made the choice, and I found my voice
The truth has set me freeI remember, there in the darkness
When the silence kept me bound
But now I'll speak with an honesty
That was lost but now is foundAnd a legend will rise in the backwoods
Of a boy who's just startin' to fly
I will take my place, don't forget this face
And I'll write my name in the skyI can see my Jesus smilin'
When I say I'm not afraid
And when I shout out my Hallelujah
You'll see the star the Lord has madeNow the legend's alive in the backwoods
For a boy who can shout "I believe"
Cuz I made the choice, and I found my voice
The truth has set me freeCome on out
And open your mouth
Life's what you allow
Leave your old fears far behind
Let them hear you nowBring the legend home to the backwoods
For the ones who still live silent lives
Tell them not to fear, cuz the time is here
To write our names in the skyKeep the legend alive in the backwoods
Live the honest life that you seek
You must make the choice, and you'll find your voice
The truth will set you freeThe truth will set you free
You must make the choice, and you'll find your voice
The truth will set--
The truth will set, the truth will set you free
