Freedom is Never Free
To the many who have fought to make and keep us free. THANK YOU!!!
I live in a Country
Where I am free.
I know about the men
Who fought for it to be.
I thank God everyday
That I live in this Country
And not in a land
That is far, far away.
I know freedom is never free
It took brave men and women
Who shed their blood
And fought hard for you and me.
So, if someone tells you that freedom is free,
Just smile and look at them
And tell them that freedom
Took someone dying for you and me
Freedom comes with a very high cost
It takes our young people and tears them apart,
It grabs ahold of families and breaks their hearts,
It's paid for by the blood of those we've loved and lost
So, you see my friend,
freedom is never free
It is paid for by others
Who set our Country free
Next time you see a war Vet
Don't forget to say "thank you"
It was only because of them that you can be you
And as you look them in the eyes, you will see no regret!
Right or wrong, they fought a good fight
And they would do it again
For you and for me,
Just to make sure things remain right
