Verse 1
Miles and miles on a treadmill mind
I’m running but not going anywhere
I closed the blinds on the frontier life
I dressed it up as freedom but it’s fear
Lost sight of who I am and why I’m here
Chorus
So free me from this fortress, this prison that I’ve made
With my civilized salvation and my picket fence of faith
My eyes on the horizon, I cannot settle here
How could I die in safety? I was born a pioneer
Verse 2
And letting go, I leave it all behind
I’m parting ways with years of wasted time
I’m moving out of this old man’s house
Somewherе in me, there’s thе wonder of a child
And I wonder if I’ll find him in the wild
Chorus
So free me from this fortress, this prison that I’ve made
With my civilized salvation and my picket fence of faith
My eyes on the horizon, I cannot settle here
How could I die in safety? I was born a pioneer
Instrumental Break
Chorus
Free me from this fortress, this prison that I’ve made
With my civilized salvation and my white picket fence of faith
My eyes on the horizon, I cannot settle here
How could I die in safety? I was born a pioneer
I will not die in safety, I was born a pioneer
