Born Free

I was born free
On a freeway
On a warm sea
In a clean age
In a memory
A memory
It stays

I was torn free
From a tree lay
In a cornfield
Ran a relay
In a memory
A memory
It stays

The sweat on my brow
The credit, the cost
The blood in my veins
The color, the cross
I've made with my hands
I made on my chest
My head has been touched
My head has been blessed

In a story
In harm's way
In a library
Made our own sleigh
In a memory
A memory
Will stay

Oh, I was born free
On that freeway
In that warm sea
In a clean age
In a memory
A memory
Will stay

Oh, I said it before
I said it was lost
The blood in my head
The calloused, the frost
I made a disguise
And colored it red
The pain in my eyes
I covered my head
