Fast, on a rough road riding high, through the mountains climbing

twisting, turning further from my home

Wandering out into this great unknown

And I dont want no one to cry, but tell em if I dont survive

I was born free I was born free

I was born free Born Free

Free, like a river raging strong, as the wind Im facing

Chasing dreams and racing father time

If you cant see my heart you must be blind

You can knock me down and watch me bleed but you cant keep no chains on me

Calm, facing danger lost, like an unknown stranger

Waitin patiently for the sun to set
