spend my days buried in mud time just stand still

i wonder why or if i'll die

or what i do believe

or if i will ever see the face i came to see

day by day i come face to face

with what i call evil

with what i have been trained to be

deep inside i know the truth that i am fighting for

is they believe the same

freedom isn't free

the cost it takes

is you and me

we leave all we know

to live in fear

miss my family i miss my life

but what is life un free

my friends at home they pray for me

and that is all i have

i press on in the battle front

and pay the cost to be free

freedom isn't free

the cost it takes

is you and me

we leave all we know

to live in fear

freedom isn't free

the cost it takes

is you and me

we leave all we know

to live in fear

all my life i took for granted

all the times that i love

all the joys in my heart

i thought would never disappear

when the ones you love are placed in danger

the steps you take are all in faith

freedom isn't free

the cost it takes

is you and me

we leave all we know

to live in fear

freedom isn't free

the cost it takes

for you and me

we leave all we know

to live in fear

we've got to move a slow

we've got to move along
