[Verse 1]
Going to the river, 'cause down by the river side
The wind softly whispers, it's good to be alive
Waiting for the sunrise, here at the crack of dawn
Underneath the red sky, the mist is almost gone
[Chorus]
My eyes wide open, I found some room to breathe
Gazing at the water, I don't need any sleep
Gone are the troubles, there's nothing that I need
Down by the water, I still believe we were born free
We were born free
[Verse 2]
Down by the river, the sun is almost set
My hands, oh, they shiver, with the birds above our heads
I'm waiting for the fireflies, my heart is on demand
Cheers with the moonshine, to another day well spent
[Chorus]
My eyes wide open
I found some room to breathe
Gazing at the water, I don't need any sleep
Gone are the troubles, there's nothing that I need
Down by the water, I still believe we were born free
We were born free
[Bridge]
Give me fire, give me freedom
Holding on, letting go
Give me life, give me meaning
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Give me fire, give me freedom
Holding on, letting go
Give me life, give me meaning
Oh Lord, oh Lord
[Outro]
My eyes wide open
I found some room to breathe
Gazing at the water, I still believe we were born free
