VERSE 1
I WAS BORN AS FREE AS THE WIND
AAEEYAAYEEYAY YO
I WALKED FRRE UNDER THE SUN
AAEEYAAYEEYAYYO
VERSE 2
AS A CHILD-I PLAYED EACH DAY…
ROSE IN THE DAWN –LAY DOWN AT DUSK…
VERSE 3
MY MOTHER AND FATHER-THEY CARED FOR ME…
WHERE ZEBRA RAN AND ELEPHANTS ROAMED…
VERSE 4
ON A SUNNY DAY-THE STRANGERS CAME…
THEY STOLE US FROM OUR NATIVE HOMES…
VERSE 5
WE WERE BOUND -IN ROPES AND CHAINS…
DOWN DEEP- IN A STINKING SHIP…
VERSE 6
THEY DRAGGED US ON -TO A FOREIGN SHORE…
THERE WERE A HUNDRED- OF US AND MORE…
VERSE 7
MY MOTHER AND SISTER-STOOD WITH ME…
MY FATHER AND BROTHERS-THEY DIED AT SEA…
VERSE 8
ONE DAY MY MOTHER- SHE FELL DOWN…
THAT SAME DAY –SHE WAS IN THE GROUND…
VERSE 9
THAT NIGHT I GRABBED- MY SISTERS HAND…
THEN WE RAN-FROM THE SLAVERS GANG…
VERSE 10
NOW I AM OLD-I HAVE RETURNED…
TO THE LAND -WHERE I WAS BORN…
VERSE 11
I SEE THE ELEPHANTS-AND ZEBRA HERDS…
MY OLD VILLAGE-THEY WELCOME ME…
VERSE 12
LAND OF MY BRITH-LAND OF THE FREE…
ONE OF YOUR SONS-CAME HOME TODAY…
AAEEYYY-REPEAT TILL FINISH
