Dem waan tell mi how fi walk, how fi speak, how fi pray, But mi spirit free, cyaan lock mi away. Dem build up wall, dem build up fence, Still mi mind fly high, mi nah lose mi sense. Mi hear dem noise, but mi nah lose track, Too much fake smile, too much knife inna back. Bare pressure come, still mi hold mi ground, Roots deep inna earth, hear di thunder sound. No chain pon me, no chain pon me, Free soul walk where di whole world see. No chain pon me, no chain pon me, Jah know mi spirit never bend, never flee. No chain pon me, no lock, no key, Dem cyaan cage di fire weh burn inna me. From jungle road straight to di city lights, Mi born fi be free, so mi ready fi die. No chain pon mi, no rope pon mi soul, Mi born fi be free, dat a mi goal. Dem chase shiny things, dem run fi di fame, Mi rather walk slow and remember mi name. Sun rise bright over mountain side, Truth inna mi heart, no place fi hide. Every scar teach lesson, every road teach way, Mi give thanks fi di night and di brand new day. No chain pon me, no chain pon me, Free soul walk where di whole world see. No chain pon me, no chain pon me, Jah know mi spirit never bend, never flee. No chain pon me, no lock, no key, Dem cyaan cage di fire weh burn inna me. From jungle road straight to di city lights, Mi born fi be free, so mi ready fi die. When di storm roll in and di sky turn grey, Mi nah bow down, mi nah drift away. River keep flowing, so mi do di same, Through di fire and di rain, still mi carry di flame. Dem cyaan own mi thoughts, cyaan own mi dreams, Life more deep than it first might seem. So mi step wid faith and mi head held high, Free like di eagle inna open sky. No chain pon me, no chain pon me, Free soul walk where di whole world see. No chain pon me, no chain pon me, Jah know mi spirit never bend, never flee. No chain pon me, no lock, no key, Dem cyaan cage di fire weh burn inna me. From jungle road straight to di city lights, Mi born fi be free, so mi ready fi die.
