Etana, I Thank you so much for this beautiful song,it let me remember my struggles,is my life in your video,and I'm grateful to the most high for hearing my cry and my prayers.Thank you i listen to it everyday.
This song touches all aspect of live it depicts poverty of struggles that ravages ghetto areas in Jamaica she uses prayers as a means to power through these problems and she also touches abuse which she uses the little girl who carried this through in the beginning of the video .On the other I dont know why people are commenting about etana childhood because I dont know that is is correct to imply that she.endured a difficult childhood from this video I don't know etana personally and I'm almost certain no one here making comments knows her either My belief is that she is passionate about this topic as it relates to child abuse and poverty so she is so using her voice as message to the mass .Moreover it touches on these issues in her homeland that being Jamaica 'So I'm lost when I read some people comments because they are talking about gays and all the other stuff and it may be that we are listening to something else and not free by etana who is a beautiful strong sister from Jamaica. Anyways people experience all different types of struggles and I know this song helps to comfort that pain to deal with whatever their struggles are.

Verse 1]
Every day I rise on a prayer
That's all I got to take me through
I know one day, I must and I will
Free myself from everything that holds me captive
[Chorus]
Gonna be free like a bird in the sky
Gonna be free, gonna fly so high
Gonna be free, gonna free my mind
Gonna be free, gonna fly so high
[Verse 2]
Life is so sweet and I don't wanna die
But this burden I bare could be hard sometimes
Food scarce so me juggle everywhere
Sometimes me make a move, me can't find no bus fare
Go look fi mama Jai, she say nothing no deh there
'Pon da youth, dem face, I see the pain
[Interlude]
I know I wanna get the most out of life
So we all agree, 'cause I need to pray
The youths, stay sharp
We have to survive till the end
[Chorus]
Gonna be free like a bird in the sky
Gonna be free, gonna fly so high
Gonna be free, gonna free my mind
Gonna be free, gonna fly so high
[Verse 3]
Youths in the Garden, youths in the Jungle
Youths in a Rema, August Town
Youths in a Flanker, De La Vega, Riverton
Backto and Mud Town
I know it is hard sometimes but we nah give up, oh no
Mathews Lane, Hundreds Lane, Plain Land, White hall
Grants Pen, Norwood, Back Bush, Spanish Town
Don't you give up
[Chorus]
Gonna be free like a bird in the sky
Gonna be free, gonna fly so high
Gonna be free, gonna free my mind
Gonna be free, gonna fly so high
[Bridge]
One thing I know is that I must survive
One thing I know is that I must rise
Rise...
[Verse 1]
Every day I rise on a prayer
That's all I got to take me through
I know one day I must and I will
Free myself from everything that holds me captive
[Chorus]
Gonna be free like a bird in the sky
Gonna be free, gonna fly so high
Gonna be free, gonna free my mind
Gonna be free, gonna fly so high
