Born free,
Born free, as free as the wind blows,
As free as the grass grows,
Born free to follow your heart.
Born free and beauty surrounds you,
The world still astounds you,
Each time you look at a star.
Stay free, with no walls to hide you,
You're as free as the roving tide,
So there's no need to hide.
Born free and life is worth living,
It's only worth living, if you're born free.
