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, if the wind I’m facing
Chasing, dreams and racing fathered 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 achin'
Waitin’ 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 shining seas
And celebrate God’s grace on me

I was born free
I was born free
I was born free
Born free

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
