Freedom Isn\'t Free

Freedom is not free
Is it not easy to see?

Our people fight and die
No it is not a lie

We always take for granted
The things most enchanted

Just because they are free
Do you not know we had to fight for that sea to shining sea!

Our men and women have to be brave
To go and face the grave

Families loose loved ones
To rifles and guns

Many have died and many will die
Does it not just make you want to cry?

We spend life so freely so we think
But so many lives are on the brink

We have fought so hard for those fifty stars
Our flag does bare many scars

From that awful night
When our flag took its flight

Those thirteen stripes both red and white
Are such a prideful sight

On them we founded our land
They started this nation so grand

With only thirteen states
We were ready to open more gates

We stretched and we spread
We fought for those already dead

People say America is free
I just want you know I want you to see

People have died
People have cried

Please don’t listen to these lies
America was not a prize

With our flag high
Up in the night sky

We know we are strong like the eagle
And we try and stop what is not legal

I just want you to know
Our flag does flow

Because of the flood
Of strong men’s blood

I just want you to see
That freedom is not free
