more than bloodied scars
more than the wounds and mars
better than a joyful song
better than the happy throng
is the freedom cry
louder than the plea for help
louder then the cry itself
passion fiercer than the shots
passion greater than the thoughts
is the freedom cry
something that my heart inflates
something that my soul translates
something that my mind holds dear
something more important than the years
this the freedom cry
buried deep within my soul
long forgotten
even though they're told
now I taste the stories
they're re-awoke
and my song comes forth
I know not of its first birth
but from dry lips so young
springs the joyous song
the freedom cry unites
as the flag is raised
it begins to wave
liberty and peace rein
forever it's proclaimed
GOD BLESS the American brave
