Worth the Price?

Such a close call - again.
Home many will it take?
Don't you see how much
You have at stake?

We love you!
We need you!
What would we do if you were gone?
It would break our hearts;
It would break-up our home.

I know your intentions are good,
But it's just not worth the price.
It could cost your freedom.
It could cost your life.
