Take a Moment

So many times we fail to see Why we’re able to live free We take for granted it’s the way It’s supposed to be Oh but there’s millions of reasons why Lying in the bloodied ground We walk the backwoods And open fields of our hometown Never thinking about the price Of our feet walking on the grass and dirt Paid for in blood of the millions Who long ago passed this way Just so on this very day We can walk where we please As free as ever man has been We look around us But mostly see our own gripes We act as though Everything is owed us The world revolves around our needs Only one thing matters Just what we feel We deserve today But buried in the ground We think we own Are the stories told in blood Of why we’re able to make our claim And walk as free men Through the backwoods and open fields Of our hometown So take a moment to kiss the ground Thank the millions Who came before us Just so on this very day We can walk Where we please
