Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Fast, on a rough road riding

High, through the mountains climbing

Twisting, turning further from my home

[Verse 2]

Young, like a new moon rising

Fierce, through the rain and lightning

Wandering out into this great unknown

[Verse 3]

And I don't want no one to cry

But tell 'em if I don't survive

[Verse 4]

I was born free

I was born free

I was born free

Born free

[Verse 5]

Free, like a river raging

Strong, is the wind I'm facing

Chasing dreams and racing Father Time

[Verse 6]

Deep, like the grandest canyon

Wild, like an untamed stallion

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

[Verse 7]

You can knock me down and watch me bleed

But you can't keep no chains on me

[Verse 8]

I was born free

I was born free

I was born free

Born free

[Verse 9]

And I'm not good at long goodbyes

But look down deep into my eyes, I was born free

[Verse 10]

Calm, facing danger

Lost, like an unknown stranger

Grateful for my time with no regrets

[Verse 11]

Close to my destination

Tired, frail and aching

Waiting patiently for the sun to set

[Verse 12]

And when it's done, believe that I

Will yell it from that mountain high

[Verse 13]

I was born free

I was born free

I was born free

Born free

[Verse 14]

And I will bow to the shining seas

And celebrate God's grace on thee

[Verse 15]

I was born free

I was born free

I was born free

Born free
