Free As A Bird
The Rend Collective Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the wide open spaces
We are free
Free as a bird on the wind
No prison wall can contain us
Your beating heart makes us fearless
We are free
Love cannot be tamed
You shattered every chain
Let our praises run wild and free
The lionheart is alive in me
Let our freedom and joy begin
With you we're dancing upon our chains
With you we're soaring on eagle's wings
Take us beyond our horizons
Leading us into your wildness
We are free
Free as a bird on the wind
You are the greatest adventure
You are my uncharted waters
We are free
Free as a bird on the wind
Love cannot be tamed
You shattered every chain
Let our praises run wild and free
The lionheart is alive in me
Let our freedom and joy begin
With you we're dancing upon our chains
With you we're soaring on eagle's wings
You made us for so much more
You take us to greater shores
You raise us above the storm
We rise on eagle's wings, we rise on eagle's wings
Let our praises run wild and free
The lionheart is alive in me
Let our freedom and joy begin
With you we're dancing upon our chains
With you we're soaring on eagle's wings
