Standing on a hillside Where the river meets the sea White crosses without number Line the fields of peace
And each one a silent witness Staring back at me Every cross a story Of another place in time Where young men thought it worthy To give their life for mine And for the sake of honor Left their dreams behind
And for the price they paid I'm forever in their debt Their memory will not die 'Cause I will not forget
I will stand and hold my head up high I will dedicate my life To the glory of the ones who had to die I will live, live what I believe If for no one else but me I will remember That freedom's never free
It was on another hillside Outside the city gates The battle lines were drawn As soldiers took their place
The Father watched in silence As a cross was raised With freedom drawing closer He took His final breath He drank our cup of guilt And took the sting from death
Heaven's Finest Soldier clothed in human flesh And for the price He paid I'm forever in His debt The cross will never die 'Cause I will not forget
I will stand and hold my head up high I will dedicate my life To the glory of the One who had to die I will live, live what I believe If for no one else but me To remember that Freedom's Never Free
I will walk free I will stay free I will live free I will die free!
