I want

I want to be free

Free as the wind blows

Free as the river flows

Free as the beasts of the wild

I want to be strong

Both in mind and in body

Stretch both to the breaking point

Then stretch them farther

I want to be loved

As well as

I want to love others

Showing kindness and care

To all those around me

I want to stand against those who oppress me

As well as those who oppress others

To win the freedom of others

To show no fear

I want to continue to grow

Never forgetting my smalltown roots

The farming tradition that's in my blood

Where I come from
