song for today ... Born Free  

I love this song. There's a commercial with this song on it. I think it's about cows..anyways. Now whenever I take my cat and dogs leash off I sing that song. It's funny. Kinda..well at least to me.

I remember that song! there used to be a TV show that came on named "born free" and this was it's theme song.
I remember when I was really young I didn't really understand the lyrics and I asked my mom if the song was about someone's dad being a doctor! lol in which case, they would have been born for free! lol!

Staying on the same page and thanks to Lizzy how about the Freedom Song i would suspect it fits in very well with Andy's song .................


Let me tell you the hard luck story
About a man named jack mcduff
He believed in God and glory
But he just wasnt tough enough

I believe in the freedom song
Long live liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
Ill choose my own destiny

Well they took him and they beat him
Underneath the old hanging tree
Saying, jack, you must die
What will your last words be?

Jack, he hung his head back
Long live liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
Doesnt matter what you do to me

With a rope around his neck they left him hanging
High on that old hanging tree
On her knees his wife was screaming
Lord have mercy, lord have mercy

I believe in the freedom song
Long live liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
Doesnt matter what you do to me

It's My Life by Bon Jovi

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

Hello jdpartosa

I used to love this song when I was a child. I still love it, and I can hear it so clearly in my head now that you have brought up it. I used to love the song and the television show that it accompanied, about the lion, Elsie, and her pride in Africa. This song brings warm feelings for me. :)

I can almost hear the music and the lyrics in my head. Tank you for that. I always loved that song. It is an awesome song and I can visualize so much of the majesty of earth and the creation on it.
