I Can Not Speak To Sacrifice
I can not speak of freedom's struggle to thee, for I have always been free: you gave that right to me.
I can not speak of hard task master's laborious ruin, for I have known none.
I can not speak of blood guts and tears shed to defend the freedom that I hold dear,
nor to loves selfless sacrifice of laying your life on the line so that I might live mine.
I cannot speak to the haunting sorrow of brothers who on foreign sands bravely made
freedoms stand, and who bleed and died that our flag could still fly.
But this I vow to thee never to forget freedoms high price you paid for me and to
always honor thee by living free.
