Your first day in the world was complicated
Your mom and I were scared you weren't going to make it
We prayed that you'd be strong enough that day
And that's how we decided on your name
As you're growing older I can see how hard you try
To be strong enough in everything you do
And even when you struggle I pray you won't run and hide
There is nothing that could change my love for you
So be free, my boy, be free
Be free, my boy, be free
Be free, my boy, be free
You don't need to prove yourself to me
Years from now you'll say goodbye to our home
You'll face a lot of trials that you'll be unprepared for
We pray your courage rises every day
The cares of life won't cause your heart to stray
As you're growing older I can see how hard you try
To be strong enough in everything you do
And even when you struggle I pray you won't run and hide
There's nothing that could change my love for you
So be free, my boy, be free
Be free, my boy, be free
Be free, my boy, be free
You don't need to prove yourself to me
So be free, my boy, be free
Be free, my boy, be free
Be free, my boy, be free
You don't need to prove yourself to me
