America the Brave

Freedom isn’t free It comes at a great cost The cost is blood And all the life lost We say we are for peace And claim it’s what we seek But we cause harm and wars So to not appear weak We are an arrogant breed Full of ego and pride We feel the need to win And be in control worldwide Our desire to be the world police Has come at a great cost Freedom isn’t free I mourn all we have lost Our desire for pure love No longer rings true We need a shift in thought This hate, we must undo How do you awaken mankind From such a deep sleep It’s time we get back to love It’s time to wake the sheep
