The song is about the story of a mass shooting in a town. The person describes the hopelessness of thoughts and prayers and that if shootings mean freedom they don’t want to be free.
[Verse 1]
This land is my home, I'm brave and I'm free
Nowhere on this earth that I'd rather be
Again, I read the news and tears filled my eyes
If He really does exist, He's on the wrong side
[Chorus]
Gunshots like church bells all over town
Run for your life and keep your head down
I can hear them calling to me
If this is freedom, I don't wanna be free
[Verse 2]
Your thoughts and your prayers will fade like the night
But hearts, they will break and stay broken for life
Another unmarked car, pure evil inside
It was over in a flash, please tell me you tried
[Chorus]
Gunshots like church bells all over town
Run for your life and keep your head down
I can hear them calling to me
If this is freedom, I don't wanna be free
