Sunday Serenade: Born Free

Heard this song over the radio.. and a thought came to me.. "This would be a cool song to play at my funeral!".. It might seemed macabre to some, but I am seriously thinking about it.. :p

Again, it was the lyrics that caught my attention..

You can knock me down and watch me bleed
But you can’t keep no chains on me.

Looking and waiting for a chance to get those "chains" off me...


Born Free
performed by Kid Rock

Fast, on a rough road riding
High, through the mountains climbing
twisting, turning further from my home.
Young, like a new moon rising
Fierce, through the rain and lightning
Wandering out into this great unknown.

And I don't want no one to cry.
But, tell 'em if I don't survive

I was born free!
I was born free
I was born free, born free.

Free, like a river raging
Strong as the wind I’m facing.
Chasing dreams and racing father time.
Deep like the grandest canyon,
Wild like an untamed stallion.
If you can’t see my heart you must be blind.

You can knock me down and watch me bleed
But you can’t keep no chains on me.

I was born free!
I was born free
I was born free, born free.

And I'm not good at long goodbyes
But look down deep into my eyes
I was born free.

Calm, facing danger
Lost, like an unknown stranger
Grateful for my time with no regrets

Close to my destination
Tired, frail and aching
Waiting patiently for the sun to set

And when it's done, believe that I
will yell it from that mountain high

I was born free
I was born free
I was born free, born free

I will bow to the shining sea
And celebrate God's grace on thee





Have a great week ahead! Stay safe and cheery!!
