Born Free

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 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! Hey yaya yayaya Oh hoo Calm facing danger Lost, like an unknown stranger Grateful for my time with no regrets. Close to my destination Tired, frail and aching Waitin' patiently for the sun to set And when its 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 vow to the 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 wah hoo
