Some fall behind with every step they take
Some are gaining ground with every move they make
My own freedom has been taken from me
The day that I was born they stripped away my dignity
Forever cursed to live a life in shame
No matter what I do to them it's all the same
But I know that I can tear down this wall
Break the spell and prove to you all
That I will travel like the wind and waves
Over oceans vast and valley's wide
I feel I'm finally free, free to be who I want to be
I'm free to be me
In reality I'm a prisoner in chains
But in my dreams I roam across open plains
By the laws of men my body is bound
Yet deep inside of me a strength can be found
No 50 lashes, no bloodshed will wear me down
My l***, my hunger is rooted deep in the ground
I'll plunge headlong through these times of strife
'Cause one day I'll break away on this I'll bet my life
That I will travel like the wind and waves
Over oceans vast and valley's wide
I feel I'm finally free, free to be who I want to be
I'm free to be me
I choose to believe
That I can become whatever I want to be
I can't be wrong
My faith is strong, I can't be wrong
That I will travel like the wind and waves
Over oceans vast and valley's wide
I feel I'm finally free, free to be who I want to be
I will travel like the wind and waves
Over oceans vast and valley's wide
I feel I'm finally free, free to be who I want to be
I'm free to be me
Some are gaining ground with every move they make
My own freedom has been taken from me
The day that I was born they stripped away my dignity
Forever cursed to live a life in shame
