Fast, on a rough road riding

High, through the mountains climbing

twisting, turning 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 look down deep into my eyes

I was born free.



Calm, facing 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



I will bow to the shining sea

And celebrate God's grace on thee
