I been working for years and years upon end,
Got so much debt worry, one day will do me in.
Toss and turn nights worry, i might have a dream.

Heaven, can't you help me?
Come on, baby, let me in!
This silver lining
Always seems too thin!

I ain't well versed in thoughts on original sin.
Never seem to find no answers blowing in the wind.
I would pawn my soul if it were worth a damn!

Heaven, can't you help me?
Come on, baby, let me in!
Open up the gates
And show me to the promised land!

Yeah! we were born free!
Can't you see?
You and me!

Yeah! we were born free!
Can't you see?
It's our destiny!

Now i ain't saying we should draw no lines in the sand,
But i think it's 'bout time people take their lives back in their hands,
'cause i know there's something pure in this whirlwind.

Heaven, can't you help me?
Come on, baby, let me in!
Open up the gates
And show me to the promised land!

Yeah! we were born free!
Can't you see?
You and me!

Yeah! we were born free!
Can't you see?
It's our destiny!

Yeah... we were born free...
Can't you see...?
Baby, you and me...

Yeah! we were born free!
Can't you see?
It's our destiny!

Yeah! we were born free!
You and me,
We were born free!
