Lyrics
FREEDOM
Across the seas, we came to, this land to
build our dream
To break away, in freedom's name,
to free ourselves from their reign
For love of man, for love of God,
we stood our ground against failing odds
Our leaders lined up by our sides
and said as one we will fight on
Fight with me - Die with me
A paradise, so worth the fight,
lush evergreens and rolling fields
Rivers pure as virgin dreams,
no more shall we be told what's right
The natives of this foreign land,
must learn to live the way we say
Warriors stand in tribes and clans,
to fight as one and the Chief would say
Fight with me - Die with me
Angels cry, flames fill the sky,
my God will I come out alive
Like kids we crawl and cry for mom,
missing limbs in misery
Between the bombs in comes a call,
word comes down from The Man
We're behind you son, we've almost won
we've watched it all on TV
Fight for me - Die for me
