Freedom isn't free; At one point it was barely available for me
Grounded by the chains of caution and driven by a wondrous dream:
A life bright with sunlight and an adrenaline rush as I take flight
Instead, I'm here protected by a father's love and a life he must oversee

Freedom isn't free; My mother had to give up a family to buy hers
Leaving us alone and bewildered as she pursued whatever life she preferred
How could she depart for a fresh start but leave us both with shattered hearts?
I learned fast to accept the truth and move on from the departure that occurred

Freedom isn't free; Truth is, the price will only increase higher and higher
Through time the bond with my father dwindled because of our different desires
We didn't see eye to eye; I yearned for the skies while he feared future goodbyes
Such an intelligent guy incapable of accepting the risks my freedom would acquire

Freedom isn't free; But the time has come to pay the ultimate price
To escape this sheltered love and go live! My grandma's place should suffice
And the price for this mission is being in a position where I'll never be forgiven
Because my departure will lead to his shock and a heart that will break twice

BUT I AM TIRED OF THIS FIGHT! With this loss, I will gain
There's a life full of "what ifs" out there that's calling my name!
Must pay this price if I am to live my own life and take it with strife
It's time to take flight and look forward with the wind in my mane

Freedom isn't free; But that doesn't stop me from possessing it by spirit
I will take advantage of this new life with it's consequences and benefits
Once I'm at this sweet cottage surrounded by beauty, I shall gain irreplaceable knowledge
And experience this paid freedom my father never had a chance to get
