Charlie Puth
“Free” is an original end-credit song for Disney’s August 2020 animated film, The One and Only Ivan, written by Oscar-nominated songwriter Diane Warren and performed by Grammy-nominated singer Charlie Puth.
[Verse 1]
They’ll never know just who you are
But they can’t turn your bright star dark
They'll try to hold your spirit down
Couldn't do it then, can't do it now
They'll try to tell you who to be
But they can't change the way you feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't tame a wild heart
You are free, free
[Chorus]
Free as the grass that's right under your feet
Free as the sky underneath your wings
Free as the wind and the river flowin' to the sea
Free as the feelin' they can't take from you
No walls can keep your heart from your dream
Free as just knowing that you were born to
To be free (Free), free (Free)
[Verse 2]
They'll try to tell you where to go
Try to put chains around your soul
But they could never hold you back
'Cause you wеre built too strong for that
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't tame a wild heart
[Chorus]
Free as thе grass that's right under your feet
Free as the sky underneath your wings
Free as the wind and the river flowin' to the sea
Free (Free)
[Bridge]
Oh, no one's ever putting out that fire inside
Feelin' free's the only way you feel alive
With the wind at your back, running fast and free
[Chorus]
Free as the grass that's right under your feet
Free as the sky underneath your wings
Free as the wind and the river flowin' to the sea
Free as the feelin' they can't take from you
No walls can keep your heart from your dream
Free as just knowing that you were born to
To be free, yeah (Free), free, yeah (Free)
[Outro]
Free, free, free
Oh, free
