[Verse 1]
Behind time and space, I guess distantly
Into the irie heights of reality, yeah
Open up your eyes, surely you will see
We were born to be free, yeah

[Chorus]
We were born to be free
We were born to be free
What could their system hold for me? Yeah
I was born to be free

[Verse 2]
So much stumbling block is the way
Hungry baby cry each and everyday
Well I pray and I pray that we all could see
We were born, born to be free, yeah

[Chorus]
Wе were born to be free
Wе were born to be free
So what could their system hold for me? Yeah
I was born to be free

[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
With guidance and protection, we'll carry on
It's Rastafarai I rely on
Search your heart and soul, surely you will see
You were born to be free, yeah

[Chorus]
We were born to be free
We were born to be free
What could their system hold for me? Yeah
I was born to be free

[Outro]
No matter what the leader say
We were born to be free
Come on, I wanna hear you say
We were born to be free
Got to tell all the children, yeah
We were born to be free
We were born to be free
