Pray your heart be lighter
Brave and free like mine
Floating like a feather
Hope waits down the line
To be free
Like the river dares to be
To be free
Wings of freedom, fly to me
Shake off all your burdens
Shame's no friend of mine
Lost my faith in perfect
We'll be home in time, oh
To be free, yeah
Like the river, oh, it dares to be, yeah
To be free
Wings of freedom, fly to me
Fly
Fly
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, oh
To be free
Like the river, oh, it dares to be
To be free
Wings of freedom, fly to me
May your heart be open
Let no one change your mind
