Fast on a rough road riding High thru the mountains climbing Twistin', turning, further from my home. Young like a new moon rising Fierce thru 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.
