Freedom
FREEDOM
Our freedom isn’t free, it came at great cost
For us to be free, many lives have been lost
Against the Hitler’s and Hussein’s of this world
Men and women fought for freedom’s flag to be unfurled
Throughout the history of this Great American soil
Our freedom has been secured by blood letting toil
Had we not been willing to make this sacrifice
We would have tyrants dictating our life
So when you hear the bells of freedom ring
And the patriotic songs we all love to sing
And when you see our great flag waving high
Remember the ones who chose to die
Remember the families they left behind
No greater tribute will you ever find
Then realize each night your freedom’s not at stake
Because our military might is vigilant and awake
