These hickeys hit me head on

But they didn't leave a bruise

And I stare at my ceiling

Thinking 'bout the color blue

Partial to my luck

Dear, I have some sorry news

Someone just informed me

I'll be wearing different shoes

'Cause God's got something out for me

My head's probably got a pretty fee

It's the price I pay for being me

'Cause we all know freedom isn't free

There's a tattoo that I'm wearing

But it didn't leave a mark

It's the way you say you love me

It's carved upon my heart

Sorry for us both, dear

I don't know where to start

They said that they can't help me

And they wrote it on my chart

'Cause God's got something out for me

My head's probably got a pretty fee

It's the price I pay for being me

'Cause we all know freedom isn't free

Yeah, God's got something out for me

My head's probably got a pretty fee

It's the price I pay for being me

'Cause we all know freedom isn't free
