A young man in a wheelchair, no feeling in his limbs
Taken what life's dealt him, with his silly grins
But he's lookin to that final day, when he can be made new
And he can run and play...

And here's a man in prison, payin for his deeds
Wants to be with his family, providing for their needs
He's had a change of heart, but still he has to pay
Now he is livin, for that Glorious day...

Cause he was born to run, Born to Fly
Born to be free, like the wind in the trees
When the Savior comes, to take him home
He will be free, like he was meant to be...

A woman in her final days, all her friends gone
Tryin to remember, all that she has done
She talks about those people, that help her every day
And she can't wait for Heaven, and we often hear her say...

That I was born to run, Born to Fly
Born to be free, like the wind in the trees
When the Savior comes, to take me home
I will be free, like I've wanted to be

Cause I was born to run, Born to Fly
Born to be free, like the wind in the trees
When the Savior comes, to take us home
We will be free, like we were meant to be... Like we were meant to be...

Thanks so much, Marcus.  :) I've only written lyrics to about 5 songs, so they obviously don't come easily to me.  :)

Really glad you enjoy this one, Robby.

I miss the Jimmyman... he was a sensitive gentle soul and a generous and insightful critic... a great forum friend/collaborator, and unique talent... everyone loved Jimmy...

Janet, This is a very lovely song you wrote and only an empathetic person can understand the circumstances of other. Very properly dedicated and with love in your heart at that. Many blessings for this.

Peace and blessings, John

This song and mostly the performance has a strong place in my heart. Don't know why, just does.
Jimmy imposed some magic.
