Freedom Never Was Free |
 |
|
Freedom's a gift
That never was free
It was
bought at a price
For you and for me
It was paid by the blood
Of those gone before
But today we must ask
Is it still worth
fighting for?
Is it worth it to stand
Apart from the norm
Is it worth it to head
Straight into the storm
Not of temperatures
Ice, wind, and hail
But that of attitudes, choices
Ideas gone
derail
Where do we run to
Where do we turn
With so much
division
Apathy and bridges to burn
How have we gone
So far
from the start
Of what made us great
What set us apart
As I
said before
Freedom has never been free
It never has been
Nor
will it ever be...
Our loans are coming due
We all must pay
When
it comes down to freedom
there can only be one way
There is no
question
the train is off the track
But the time is not to point
fingers
The time is to act
There are no simple answers
There
are no easy sales
The train itself
Has completely derailed
We can't restore it
In one single hour
But we must decide
Who
will willed the power
Will it be We The People
As that great
document states
Or will it be government bureaucrats
Those who
only want to dictate
It can only be we the People
If we the
people are willing to fight
For dignity, honor, the Constitution
And all thing that are right
If we want to be politically correct
We might as well give up now
If we are to afraid to shout out
Then
just take a bow
The only thing that can restore
What our Fore
Fathers gave
Is their same conviction
Their same fortitude, their
same call to aid
I'll say it one last time
Freedom never was free
Is the price to high
For you and for me? |
