Lyrics
v2- woke up in the middle of the night and couldn?t get back to sleep
Felt the thoughts run through my head but nothing could I keep
I knew the darkness of the night was not always my friend
Like the fearful feeling I get when I know my life must end
But fear is the personal prison every man lives in
The cost of freedom is high not free and cheap like sin
But if there is a place to go to when I finally die
I don?t want to look back on a life that was a lie
No I don?t want to look back on a lie
CH- Freedom is a state of mind not a state of emergency
Only when we break the rules can we truly be free
Man thinks he can make a rule and say it?s from God?s voice
But man is not the ruler and life gave us a choice
We have a voice... we have a voice
v2- A woman goes through her life bein? told how to live
Men will take so much from her but never do they give
Teenage girls will make mistakes just like teenage boys
Seems like just a minute ago they were playing with their toys
Now at night they socialize in awkward drunken ways
With no clue of what to do or how to spend their days
Parents try to warn and preach while living the wrong life
Teenage girls are much to young to be somebody?s wife
Let alone create a life
CHORUS
BR- Freedom isn?t to fight for
Freedom isn?t to die for
Freedom isn?t a right or a wrong
Freedom isn?t a poem or a song
Freedom is letting go of all you want
Of all you have
Of all you fear
CHORUS
