(Guitar soft arpeggios)
Nna, even in the silence, I hold on.
Omo, the journey is long, but my heart is set.
They ask me why I walk this narrow path
They tell me life is just a fading breath
I look at the sky when the sun begins to set
And I carry hope that I haven't seen yet
If the road ends and the curtain pulls away
And silence is all that meets me in that day
I will not regret the light I chose to follow
Even if tomorrow turns out to be hollow
I prefer to be a Christian to die
And to find out there’s no hell or no heaven
At least I will be free
I will be free
I will be free
I will be free
I prefer to be a Christian living right and graceful
At least I will be free
Chai, the world is full of questions in the night
But I find my peace inside the morning light
They call it a gamble, a trick of the mind
But look at the grace that I happen to find
If there is no crown waiting at the end of the line
I still hold the goodness that once was mine
I lived for the love, I lived for the grace
And found my home in a sacred place
I prefer to be a Christian to die
And to find out there’s no hell or no heaven
At least I will be free
I will be free
I will be free
I will be free
I prefer to be a Christian living right and graceful
At least I will be free
Oh my great Jehovah, the spirit knows the way
Even when the shadows try to dim the day
No wahala, no fear in my soul
I choose the story that makes me whole
So let them talk of vanity and dust
In this heart of mine, there is a holy trust
If the gates are closed and the stars don’t glow
I’ve lived a life that was better than they know
Oh, what a graceful life with truth and walk the line
Even if eternity is just a sign
I am content, I am finally at rest
I chose the path that I loved the best
I prefer to be a Christian to die
And to find out there’s no hell or no heaven
At least I will be free
I will be free
I will be free
I will be free
I prefer to be a Christian living right and graceful
At least I will be free
At least I will be free
Yes, I will be free
Nna, I will be free
