Ooh, ooh, ooh
There is a river swallowing me whole
The waves are high, it's out of control
I'm going under, my body's getting cold
You can take my heart, but you'll never have my soul
There comes a wind tryin' to bend my bones
With every step, it's harder to go on
I let it swing me right off of my feet
You think you've got me, but I'm meant to be
Free
You build a wall, I'll find a way
Free
You light a fire, I'll walk through flames
No, you can't chain a mountain
You can't cage the sea
I'm meant to be free
I'm meant to be free
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You told me I would end up just like them
Dragging through all the dirt they left
You can holler you can curse, I don't give a damn
'Cause all that dirt made me who I am
I'm meant to be
Free
You build a wall, I'll find a way
Free
You light a fire, I'll walk through flames
No, you can't chain a mountain
You can't cage the sea
I'm meant to be free
I'm meant to be free
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh-ohh, oh-ohh
If you captured all the stars, oh-ohh
The night would be only dark, oh-ohh
Oh, would they lose their shine, oh-ohh
Like you tried taking mine
Free
Free
No, you can't chain a mountain
You can't cage the sea
I'm meant to be free
I'm meant to be free
I'm meant to be
Free
You build a wall, I'll find a way
Free
You light a fire, I'll walk through flames
No, you can't chain a mountain
You can't cage the sea
I'm meant to be free
I'm meant to be free
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
