I been working for years and years upon end Got so much debt worry one day'll do me in Toss and turn nights worry I might have a dream Heaven can't you help me Come on baby let me in This Silver Lining Always seems too thin I ain't well versed in thoughts on original sin Never seem to find no answers blowing in the wind I would pawn my soul if it were worth a damn Heaven can't you help me Come on baby let me in Open up the gates and show me to the Promised Land Yeah, we were born free Can't you see You and me Yeah, we were born free Can't you see It's our destiny Now I ain't saying we should draw no lines in the sand But I think it's 'bout time People take their lives back in their hands Cause I know there's something pure in this whirlwind Heaven can't you help me Come on baby let me in Open up the gates and show me to the Promised Land Yeah, we were born free Can't you see You and me Yeah, we were born free Can't you see It's our destiny Yeah, we were born free Can't you see Baby, you and me Yeah, we were born free Can't you see It's our destiny Yeah, we were born free You and me We were born free
