(Lovett/Peacock/Clyne)

I see the birds up in the sky
They can fly so high, then why can't I
I see the fishes in the sea
And they just swim so free and laugh at me

Now I can run as fast as anyone
And no one follows me
Can you imagine anybody so free?

I got no secrets in my head
I got no books to read that must be read
I wonder down the water way
I left my cares and troubles yesterday

I got no need to be ahurrin'
And no one's pushin' me
And nothing ever gets to worrin' me

And I'll just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me
And I'll just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me

I see new opens to the sun
And there's no door to close to anyone
Who makes rivers down my face
And I'll leave each one to find it's place

I got no need to be ahurrin'
And no one's pushin' me
And nothing ever gets to worrin' me

And I'll just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me
And I'll just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me

And I'll just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me
And I'll just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me

Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me
And I'll just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me

Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom ain't nothin' holdin' me
And I'll just roll like the river down to the sea
