Freedom Isn't Free

I'm proud livin' in the U.S.A

Land of the free and the home of the brave

It might not be perfect but I'll take it any day

But how long will the eagle fly

And how many mothers have to cry

Because so many sons and daughters died

It's always been that way

'Cause freedom isn't free, it never was and never will be

What I'm tryin' to say there's always been a price to pay

Freedom isn't free it's been passed down to you and me

But how long will it be 'cause freedom isn't free

I said, freedom isn't free

There's some things goin' on across this land

Some people like me don't understand

Still we're hopin' and prayin'

That we're gonna get things right

Where I come from there's an unwritten law

You don't back a man up against a wall

Everybody answer to the call

When it's time to fight

'Cause freedom isn't free, it never was and never will be

What I'm tryin' to say there's always been a price to pay

Freedom isn't free, no, it's been passed down to you and me

But how long will it be 'cause freedom isn't free

I said, freedom isn't free

But freedom isn't free, it never was and never will be

What I'm tryin' to say there's always been a price to pay

Freedom isn't free, no, it's been passed down to you and me

But how long will it be 'cause freedom isn't free

I said, freedom isn't free

You know, freedom isn't free

No, no, no
