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
