If you beat on the rock you can hear the world ring Wake up in the morning you don't feel a thing Shadows gathering over your head And it's just like the preacher man said He said we were born to run through the grass Why are you living your life behind bars Why are you living your life in the past Give yourself a reason to sing
That you were free born you're free born You're free born you're free
Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
It's like in the movies when the rain comes down And you take of your clothes and you scream at the clouds Can you remember the moment of birth When you slipped out onto the earth You're a man you're a woman you're not some machine Why do you always stare at the screen Why do you always bow your head down I know you used to be proud
When you were free born you're free born You're free born you're free
Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
Look out the tiny window frame that sits behind your desk Past the big computer screen and the jars of fountain pens What are you doing in this prison with your psychopathic boss With your brokenhearted mornings and your backstabbing friends
You were free born you're free born You're free born you're free
Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
