Story behind the song
Regardless of what you think of the current political climate, some truths are universal.
Lyrics
How did you feel when the towers were falling down? Did you see people run for their lives? Was there a moment you sensed the world had changed? Did a little piece inside of you die? How does it feel to know they’re giving their lives away? How does it feel to know they’ve chosen to fight? In a world away so that we’ll be safe And free to say whatever we like Everybody’s free to be right Freedom ain’t free It’s all in your history No, Freedom ain’t free There’s a price, are you willing to pay? So the next time you happen to criticize What you don’t understand or believe Just think about the ones who gave you that chance And the sacrifices made to be free It’s the red of the blood soaked battlefields It’s the white of the Arlington stones It’s the blue of the sky seen through a prisoner’s eyes As he’s tortured; he’s dying alone It’s the tears you’ll never know Freedom ain’t free It’s all in your history No, Freedom ain’t free There’s a price, are you willing to pay? If you believe in your principles, sometimes you have to go it alone And if you’re founded in liberty, you’ll never have to be shown that… Freedom ain’t free It’s all in your history No, Freedom ain’t free Is the price what you’re willing to pay? Freedom ain’t free It’s all in your history No, Freedom ain’t free There’s a price, are you willing to pay? Just what price are you willing to pay?
