Born Free

"Born Free"

Fast, on a rough road riding
High, through the mountains climbing
twisting, turning further from my home.
Young, like a new moon rising
Fierce, through the rain and lightning
Wandering out into this great unknown.

And I don't want no one to cry.
But, tell 'em if I don't survive

I was born free!
I was born free
I was born free, born free.

Free, like a river raging
Strong as the wind I’m facing.
Chasing dreams and racing father time.
Deep like the grandest canyon,
Wild like an untamed stallion.
If you can’t see my heart you must be blind.

You can knock me down and watch me bleed
But you can’t keep no chains on me.

I was born free!
I was born free
I was born free, born free.

And I'm not good at long goodbyes
But look down deep into my eyes
I was born free.

Calm, facing danger
Lost, like an unknown stranger
Grateful for my time with no regrets

Close to my destination
Tired, frail and aching
Waiting patiently for the sun to set

And when it's done, believe that I
will yell it from that mountain high

I was born free
I was born free
I was born free, born free

I will bow to the shining sea
And celebrate God's grace on thee.

About Me

Pam Pedigo
I am a woman that got the opportunity to redefine her life.....start over. This arduous journey has changed everything. From marriage to single, from a small town to another country, from part-time work to full-time volunteering and most importantly from a broken family to three successful adults. I have two beautiful children - Jake who is in Dallas and Ashton who is in Austin. The journey has brought us closer than ever. I also have a wonderful extended family that I love dearly and dear friends that have helped me on my way these past few years. I will be training teachers in the Philippines and leave July 1, 2011.
