Setting the soul loose. Revised

Verse 1

You can try to break the thunder

You can try to dim my flame

You can build your walls around me

But I'll never play your game

Every scar becomes a story

Every fall just makes me rise

You can tell me I should surrender

But I've got fire in my eyes

Pre-Chorus

Go ahead, try to hold me

Go ahead, try to make me stay

There's a voice inside me screaming

I was never yours to tame

Chorus

You can chip away at my skin

But my soul will remain intact

You can chain me down

But my spirit will ride free

You can push me to the edge

But I'll come running back

I was born to be wild

I was born to be free

Verse 2

I've walked through the darkest weather

With the whole world saying "no"

But the harder that the wind blows

The more determined I become

I don't need a perfect road

I don't need an easy ride

Give me one small spark of freedom

And I'll turn it into fire

Pre-Chorus

Go ahead, try to hold me

Go ahead, try to make me stay

There's a voice inside me screaming

I was never yours to tame

Chorus

You can chip away at my skin

But my soul will remain intact

You can chain me down

But my spirit will ride free

You can push me to the edge

But I'll come running back

I was born to be wild

I was born to be free

Bridge

Let the thunder shake the ground

Let the whole world hear the sound

I'm not running from the storm

I'm becoming something more

No cage can keep me

No fear can define me

The road is calling

And I'm finally listening

Final Chorus

You can chip away at my skin

But my soul will remain intact

You can chain me down

But my spirit will ride free

You can try to silence me

But I'll make the whole world hear

I was born to be wild

And I'll stay wild right here

Outro

Born to be wild

Born to be free

You can never own

What was never meant to be owned.
