"Free Them " was written in January 2003 before the Iraq war. I wanted to write something to show my appreciation to our great U.S. military. The idea of world wide freedom and democracy was a wonderful, albeit impossible goal. And, at the time, seemed like something that might only belong in a song. I am elated to see that the concept of world wide democracy has become President Bush's heartfelt ambition and goal.
Free Them
Digital Music File
On behalf of a very grateful nation
Just want to thank you
From the bottom of my heart
Because of you we sleep a whole lot sounder
And to thank you
I just don’t know where to start
Brave and noble sons and daughters
You’re America’s best
Defending our home land
You are willing to invest
Your hopes and dreams
And when it means a greater sacrifice
You go the distance and you keep
The flame of freedom burning bright
Chorus:
So let freedom reign
To the ends of the earth
Let the whole world see it’s value
And the worth of every soul
This is democracy’s design
“To be free” has been imprinted
On the heart of all mankind
Go and break the yoke of bondage
Help to set the captive free
So they can see the light
And breathe the air of liberty
Blind despair will end when
Dark oppression turns to day
A fearless day when
The whole wide world will say
Chorus
Bridge:
God forbid we ever take for granted
The sacrifices made for freedom’s light
A blessed beacon that will blaze throughout forever
Thanks to God and our great military might
So let freedom ring
From the ends of the earth
Let the whole world hear
The value and the worth
Of every living soul
Created in a grand design
“To be free” He has imprinted
On the heart of all mankind
“To be free” God has imprinted
On the heart of all mankind
