Freedom we celebrate July Fourth each year
Full of Fireworks with friends we hold dear;
But Freedom's price tag is high as can be
-----No--Freedom really isn't Free.
Freedom is paid for by blood,sweat and tears
Soldiers who put on hold lives and careers;
It's July Fourth and now I can see---
-----That Our Freedom isn't really Free.
Young soldiers die daily for us each year
Torn from their family, eyes filled with tears;
They've paid the ultimate price,now we can see
---No---Our Freedom isn't really Free.
God Bless the Veterans young and old
God Bless the soldiers both brave and bold;
Join in a Prayer for them now and see--
---Our American Freedom isn't really free.
