I might be cloud-nine-ing it
Living wild and liking it
I might be million-dollar-smiling it
Little lost and hiding it
Wondering where you are
If you're hating me
I'm just out here counting up the cost of being free

'Cause free ain't cheap
And free don't lie
And free might keep you up at night
Yeah. Free is how they pay for every feather on your wing to be free

In my dreams, I hear you whispering every now and then
So many dreams that I wanna chase
My heart goes a million ways
Yeah. But I ain't asleep
I ain't even close
Got my eyes wide
My own life
And I'm all alone

'Cause free ain't cheap
And free don't lie
And free might keep you up at night
Yeah. Free is how they pay for every feather on your wing to be free

Free is just a paradox
And free is just a rhyme
And free is just a riddle in the middle of your mind
And free is just another word that lonely people say just to keep from saying "lonely" and to take the pain away

'Cause free ain't cheap
And free don't lie
And free will keep you up at night
Yeah. Free is how they pay for every feather on your wing to be free

To be free
