[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
