| Standing on a hillside where the river meets the sea
|
| White crosses without number line the fields of peace
|
| And each one a silent witness staring back at me
|
| And every cross a story of another place in time
|
| Where young men thought it worthy to give their life for mine
|
| And for the sake of honor left their dreams behind
|
| And for the price they paid, I’m forever in their debt
|
| Their memory will not die, 'cause I will not forget
|
| I will stand and hold my head up high
|
| I will dedicate my life
|
| To the glory of the ones who had to die
|
| I will live, live what I believe
|
| If for no one else but me
|
| To remember that freedom’s never free
|
| On another hillside just outside the city gates
|
| The battle lines were drawn as soldiers took their place
|
| The Father watched in silence as a cross was raised
|
| With freedom drawing closer, He took His final breath
|
| He drank our cup of guilt and took the sting from death
|
| Heaven’s Finest Soldier clothed in human flesh
|
| And for the price He paid, I’m forever in His debt
|
| The cross will never die, 'cause I will not forget
|
| I will stand and hold my head up high
|
| I will dedicate my life
|
| To the glory of the One who had to die
|
| I will live, live what I believe
|
| If for no one else but me
|
| To remember that freedom’s never free
|
| I will walk free
|
| I will stay free
|
| I will live free
|
| I will die free
|
| Stand and hold my head up high
|
| I will dedicate my life
|
| To the glory of the One who had to die
|
| I will live, live what I believe
|
| If for no one else but me
|
| I will remember
|
| I will stand and hold my head up high
|
| I will dedicate my life
|
| To the glory of the One who had to die
|
| I will live, live what I believe
|
| If for no one else but me
|
| I will remember that freedom’s never free
|
| Freedom’s never free
|
| If for no one else but me
|
| I will stand, I will live
|
| If for no one else but me
|
| Live what I believe
|
| Remember that freedom’s never free
|
| I will remember
|
| Freedom’s never free
|
| I will stand, I will live
|
| If for no one else but me
|
| Live what I believe
|
| To the glory of the One who had to die… |
