Gonna lift to the great wide open

Wanna set my spirit free

Won’t stop till I reach the ocean

Gonna break these chains holding me

 

 

Gonna swim in the coldest river

Gonna drink from a mountain spring

Deep in the land of the great wide open

Let the water roll all over me

Uncaged

Oh, wanna swim in the sunshine
And every day find a way to face my fears
Oh, wanna get in the wind

Gonna take every chance I’m given

Feel the wind through the open plains
Freedom is a gift, get livin’

Go chase that sunset highway down
You got to get uncaged!
