Rio Free

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You packed one shirt and a paper map Left your old routine in a taxi cab At the harbor gate, you took one breath Said, “Whatever comes is better than regret” [Pre-Chorus] The river bends, the morning opens Every mile breaks one more chain You’ve got salt upon your shoulders And a new name for the rain [Chorus] Rio free, take me where the warm winds carry Rio free, no more counting every worry With your hands up high and your feet on fire You’re alive, alive, climbing higher Rio free, let the whole world see There’s a wider life waiting for you and me [Verse 2] Red clay dust on the borrowed shoes A market drum and a sky of blue You traded plans for a roadside song Found out the road was right all along [Pre-Chorus] The river bends, the morning opens Every mile breaks one more chain You’ve got salt upon your shoulders And a new name for the rain [Chorus] Rio free, take me where the warm winds carry Rio free, no more counting every worry With your hands up high and your feet on fire You’re alive, alive, climbing higher Rio free, let the whole world see There’s a wider life waiting for you and me [Bridge] If the old door calls, let it call alone You found your courage far from home No map can hold what your heart can be Turn the key, turn the key, turn the key [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Rio free, take me where the warm winds carry Rio free, no more counting every worry With your hands up high and your feet on fire You’re alive, alive, climbing higher Rio free, let the whole world see There’s a wider life waiting for you and me [Outro] Rio free Keep moving, keep moving Rio free The road is yours to see
