Freedom and Liberty

Freedom and Liberty
A costly price has been paid
so that a solid foundation could be laid
it was for freedom and liberty
And a country grew strong
a free nation built to last long
it was for freedom and liberty
A republic led by and for its people as a nation
the constitution to guide each new generation
it was for freedom and liberty
For 200 years the American dream we honored
working hard and sacrificing for our sons and our daughters
it was for freedom and liberty
But a strange wind is enveloping our land
an eroding away of the foundation that was planned
entitlement and arrogant enlightenment pervade our lives
ultimately undoing the many years of sacrifice
Freedom and liberty are fading away
our constitution ignored and rewritten each passing day
power and control our reality today
A crossroads in history confronts this great land
will it be for freedom and liberty that our country will stand?
