The Price of Freedom

[Verse] Out on this dusty road, the flag in my hand, I’m marchin’ for the freedom of this promised land, Mama’s tears are fallin’, Daddy’s voice so low, "As you walk away, son, there’s one thing you should know.” [Verse 2] The stars shine bright over fields of green, Where the battle cries are heard but seldom seen, My brothers stand beside me, courage in their eyes, In this fight for freedom, no one truly dies. [Chorus] I’ll give my heart, my soul, this breath I take, For the land of the free, for liberty’s sake, If I fall on this battleground, don’t mourn for me, For I have lived and died for the land of the free. [Verse 3] Letters from home tell stories of the past, A simpler life remembered, but it slips too fast, I see the faces of the ones I love so dear, Every step I take, I fight to keep them near. [Bridge] There’s a heavy price to pay for what we hold tight, In fields of glory, on this endless night, Every sacrifice, every tear that we cry, Builds the bridge to freedom, and I know why. [Chorus] I’ll give my heart, my soul, this breath I take, For the land of the free, for liberty’s sake, If I fall on this battleground, don’t mourn for me, For I have lived and died for the land of the free.
