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

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
