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 them 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 im facing chasing dreams and racing father time deep like the grandest canyon wild like an untamed stallion 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 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 thee6
