Freedom Don't Come Free

A song about the cost of freedom.

By Angel W. from Scott County High School in Kentucky

Verse 1:

My lover went to war

My tears fell through the floor

Knowing all that could be

He went to fight for more than just one family

Verse 2:

As he come to the door

Bad news written all over his face

Scared to death my heart began to race

I fell to the floor

And all I could see was the words of another man's hate

Verse 3:

Everything comes with a price

Many have lost their life

To be where we stand today

For the soldiers have let us live another day

In the country for which we pray

Verse 4:

Freedom don't come free

As our country sings

It's not just you and me

It's the Lord and what he sees

These soldiers help our freedom ring

As a part of this country they've been given new wings
