Freedom comes at a price.


The land of the free,
The home of the brave,
Who gave their lives,
Gave themselves to the grave,
For our sake did they die,
Now among the angels do they fly,
They withheld nothing,
Not even their lives,
So that we can continue with our normal lives,
Yes, everything did they give,
They died,
So that we may live,
They fought with honor and bravery,
Against terrorists known for their savagery,
Despite any circumstance,
They stood up tall,
For they were willing to take the fall,
Willing to save us all,
I wish we could have peace,
That we could all just agree,
But its just not our reality,
So we fight,
For we must,
To preserve our way of life,
Some cities turn to dust,
They may not have looked anything special,
Just citizens doing their career,
But they were so much more,
They were so dear,

Father,
The one who scares away the monsters, and never fails,
Not a chance,
Mother,
The one who heals your wounds and gives you all her love,
A great reflection of the God who lives above,
Sister,
The one you could always be yourself with,
No matter what,
Brother,
The one who always has your back

Soldier,
No matter their stature,
Grand or small,
What they are are heroes,
Heroes, them all
