Fast on a rough road riding
High through the mountains climbing
Twistin', turnin', 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

Calm, facin' 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

And I will bow to the shining sea
And celebrate God's grace on thee

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