I'm not here to wave some flag
It ain't my job to tell you how to feel
Lord knows you get enough of that
So I'll just speak my mind and keep it real
You've got your politics and I've got mine
And it's just fine to disagree
I've got the freedom to decide
What freedom means to me
I have stood up for the pledge
Hand on my chest like they taught us to
I've sworn allegiance to the flag
Just cuz that's what we're supposed to do
I've sang about my "Liberty" without knowing what it means
But now I see
It's the freedom to decide
What freedom means to me
(CHORUS)
It's prayin' out loud at suppertime
Standing up proud for what feels right
Chasin' dreams
Through amber fields of grain
It's fallin' in love a dozen times
Til one day you finally get it right
It's livin' any life you wanna make
What freedom means to me
Is you get to choose
What freedom means to you
Some days I get so tired
Seeing all our troops shipped off to war
Makes me stop and think
What is it they're out there fighting for?
Some people say it's justice, some say oil
But I have to believe
It's for the freedom to decide
What freedom means to me
(CHORUS 2)
It's walking away from a 9 to 5
Packin' a car, Takin' a drive,
Chasin' dreams
Through amber fields of grain
It's fallin' in love a dozen times
Til one day you finally get it right
It's livin' any life you wanna make
(CHORUS 3)
It's prayin' out loud at suppertime
Standing up proud for what feels right
Chasin' dreams
Through amber fields of grain
What freedom means to me
Is finding my truth
What freedom means to me
Is you get to choose
What freedom means to you
