[Verse 1]
They’ll never know just who you are
But they can’t turn your bright star dark
They'll try to hold your spirit down
Couldn't do it then, can't do it now
They'll try to tell you who to be
But they can't change the way you feel

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't tame a wild heart
You are free, free

[Chorus]
Free as the grass that's right under your feet
Free as the sky underneath your wings
Free as the wind and the river flowin' to the sea
Free as the feelin' they can't take from you
No walls can keep your heart from your dream
Free as just knowing that you were born to
To be free (Free), free (Free)

[Verse 2]
They'll try to tell you where to go
Try to put chains around your soul
But they could never hold you back
'Cause you wеre built too strong for that

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't tame a wild heart

[Chorus]
Free as thе grass that's right under your feet
Free as the sky underneath your wings
Free as the wind and the river flowin' to the sea
Free (Free)

[Bridge]
Oh, no one's ever putting out that fire inside
Feelin' free's the only way you feel alive
With the wind at your back, running fast and free

[Chorus]
Free as the grass that's right under your feet
Free as the sky underneath your wings
Free as the wind and the river flowin' to the sea
Free as the feelin' they can't take from you
No walls can keep your heart from your dream
Free as just knowing that you were born to
To be free, yeah (Free), free, yeah (Free)

[Outro]
Free, free, free
Oh, free

Charlie Puth is an American singer-songwriter who started by making and covering songs on his YouTube channel. His big break came when he was featured on the Furious 7 song “See You Again,” which he had written for a friend who passed away in a similar accident. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for twelve weeks, becoming the longest-running rap number one along with Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” The song’s iconic music video was also the most viewed video on all of YouTube for a short amount of time when it passed PSY’s “Gangnam Style” in July 2017.

His first project, The Otto Tunes, was released in 2010, with the title being a play on his middle name, Otto, and autotune. His second release, Ego, was also self-produced and dropped in October 2013.

His major-label debut Nine Track Mind was released January 29, 2016, and lead single “Marvin Gaye” with Meghan Trainor topped the charts in the UK and reached the top twenty-five in the US, peaking at #21. His next single “One Call Away” fared even better, hitting #12 in the US and establishing Puth as a full-blown star as opposed to a two-hit wonder. A deluxe edition of the record was released in November 2016.
