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 lust, 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
