I'm gonna lay myself down in that sweet, rolling river 'til the cool, flowing water has washed me clean,
And, when I rise in the sunlight, I will gaze ever homeward, for there'll be no need to
look back again.

And angels' wings were fluttering over my shoulders,
And they lifted me up above all this darkness and dust,
And my heart was on fire when I heard the song they were singing,
They sang, "Don't you remember you were born to be free, just like us'"

Oh.

And I dreamed of a meadow filled with beautiful flowers and silvery white horses,
I was watching them run and all of my loved ones who had gone home before me, they were there by my side,
We were there, everyone, oh yeah.

And angels' wings were fluttering over my shoulders,
And they lifted me up above all this darkness and dust,
And my heart was on fire when I heard the song they were singing,
They sang, "Don't you remember you were born to be free, just like us'"

Now the devil was waiting, standing there at the crossroads, and he smiled like he knew me, and I hung my head down,
Then a white dove descended, shining bright as the morning and, though Satan was shouting, he could not make a sound, yeah.

Oh.

I have struggled so long on this strange pilgrim journey, and the wild wind has cut
me as the sands of time blow,
But it all will be worth it when I kneel before Jesus, and his face has been carved in the stone of my soul, oh yeah.

And angels' wings were fluttering over my shoulders,
And they lifted me up above all this darkness and dust,
And my heart was on fire when I heard the song they were singing,
They sang, "Don't you remember you were born to be free, just like us'"

"Don't you remember you were born to be free, just like us'"
Don't you remember'
Don't you remember'
Remember.
