I was a lion
I was young I was free
I was king of the beasts
Until the shame
Became a cage
A prison around me
I was an eagle
My head in the clouds
Nothing was holding me down
'Til all my fears
They chained me here
Keeping' me on the ground
Open up the door
And come outside
There is freedom waiting in the light
Can you find the courage to believe
You were meant to be
Wild and free?
Lions roar, eagles soar
Don't forget what you're made for
Kings and queens, royalty
Child of God
Wild and free
You're not a failure
Even though you've got
All of those crazy thoughts
All the regrets
Play in your head
Over again
You're not a mistake
Did you hear what I said?
You were His child
All of the while
You were designed to live
Can you find the courage to believe
You were meant to be
Wild and free?
Lions roar, eagles soar
Don't forget what you're made for
Kings and queens, royalty
Child of God
Wild and free
Wild and free
Who the Son sets free
Who the Son sets free
You were meant to be
Wild and free
Who the Son sets free
Who the Son sets free
You were meant to be
Wild and free
Lions roar, eagles soar
Don't forget what you're made for
Kings and queens, royalty
Child of God
Wild and free
Wild and free
Wild and free
