Dust my boots off and tell you about a dream
That I've had since I was just 15
Prayed to God every night of every week
He said: Boy, if you wanna be something
You can't do it without me
I won't let no devil have a hold on me

It's like a bull that's full of steam
You can't break my spirit 'cause I'm set free
No, you can't break my spirit 'cause I'm set free

My head was underwater
God thought I was gonna drown
My breath pushed out my lungs
No, I couldn't make no sound

I was reaching up so high
Couldn't see what was around
My eyes fixed on the sky
Didn't see my feet was bound

Used to chase the stars
But now they're chasing me
I won't let no devil have a hold on me

It's like a bull that's full of steam
You can't break my spirit 'cause I'm set free
No, you can't break my spirit 'cause I'm set free

I'll dust my boots off and tell you about a dream
That I've had since I was just 15
Prayed to God every night of every week
He said: Boy, if you wanna be something
You better get set free

He said: Boy, if you wanna be something
You better get set free
