We Are All Born Free


I watch for the eagle
Soaring high above the trees
He touches our hearts
To realize
We are born to be free

I go to a garden
Where butterflies fly
Then I smile and I say
There too go I
When God made me see
He wanted us free

The blue in the sky
A kiss from the butterfly
The moonlit stars
All tell me the miracle
We are born to be free

Our lives are created
It does not matter
How we start
God's life in us always
Makes an everlasting mark

Though from ashes we are formed
We are born to be free
Our soul is our own
There is only one me

God can make it right
If mistakes are done
He loves us eternally
Together we are one
When we're born to be free.

Do you remember me
The people's poet


I'm free from the fear of tomorrow;
I'm free from the guilt of the past;
For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song,
I'm free! Praise the Lord! Free at Last!
