I still remember the first time that I woke in fright Running circles asleep in a dream with nowhere to hide Old secrets to bear like a tree with it's bark The strands of a life branching off in the dark The Mountains that roots never show Underground, a fever grows slowly Deep down and under the soil a mystery lies Stirring under our skin there's a story, the years can't divide Beyond the waste and the fields that we know A wonder evolves from a cave made of bone A creature is crawling to shore and at last He hears the thundering chorus sing Where now Do we begin to measure out All that we can't Pin down or see Shake the world Rise now child you are free Change is swirling round so vast to see Because we're wild creatures of doubt We don't know what we have Destined to die, but longing to fly
Born free I still remember the first time that you made me smile Growing younger since then in your arms now I am a child Though flesh turns to stone, we were born of the stars And d**h cannot find us love, you are my heart Leading me safely to shore, as the storm Pa**es now, over me Where now Do we begin to measure out All that we can't Pin down or see Shake the world Rise now child you are free Change is swirling round so wide Wake up and laugh there's a song that we have The notes long ago now are dreams coming back Racing through time and swelling inside, so Shake the world Rise now child you are free Change is swirling round so vast to see Because we're wild creatures of doubt We don't know what we have Destined to die, but longing to fly Born free Born free Born free Born free
