Lyrics

Flag of Freedom

Long days and sleepless nights
Surround this young man's dream
To be the best, to lay to rest
A world's vision of peace
To the farthest edge; to the deepest depth
He carries a flag of freedom in his hand

Chorus:
For those who bore the flag we bear,
For those who carried on before us?we carry on for you
For those of us who have gone before?we go farther
In honor of the flame that you fuel

To tell of what those eyes have seen
To hear the things those ears have heard
Oh, maybe someday the world will know
And maybe someday the world will see
The struggle for freedom is not cheap
But our hearts are alive, and our souls burn with the fire
Of a few good men who have left us to hold
The flag of freedom a little higher

Chorus:

Now the meaning of our thoughts fall short
And our words could never say enough
To thank those who have given us so much
The final price for freedom is the life of its greatest heroes
But the payment is always made by those who believe
In simply the way we live day to day
So to those great champions we say

Chorus:

We tip the flag of freedom this moment
In honor of the greatest sacrifice you gave
