| A Fight for Freedom |  |
| Once upon a time
in this very land
there once stood a monarch
where democracy now stands
Many years did our ancestors live
obeying a kings hand
never did he care
about the common man
Letters were sent
yet ignored
the King just didn't care
So we boldly got together
and told him what we believed was fair
Jefferson, Washington, and many others
searched for a better solution
yet to no avail,
we stood and rebelled
against a British nation
We fought for what was right
and won our freedom, true.
So when another country needs our help
what are we to do?
Some of you think
we should turn and run
But I think we should go
you and me, everyone
I believe in freedom
for everyone in the world
I don't think it should be limited
to us American born.
If I need to fight for life
I will do my time
So another boy
in another world
can live a life like mine
Please acknowledge
the rights your expressing
when you stand sign in hand,
screaming against our nation
you protest the very freedom
you were so graciously given
How can you deny another human
the same rights as you?
What would you do if your rights were gone,
powerless to stop dictatorship
wouldn't you ask
One with a victorious past
to aid in your liberation
Our forefathers never asked
for you to die for the rights you bear
but for every sign held up high
another soldier sheds a tear
A Fathers son, a Mothers daughter
fight in lands far away
so people in another country
can enjoy freedom one day
When I go and join this war
how will you perceive me?
Will I be among saviors of a nation
a hero of forlorn glory?
Will I just be another man,
with an unknown story?
I do not ask you to join me
in this fight for freedom
I just ask for your support
and prayers for those whom need them | By Carl Flint
