The
rain of lead explodes
Around
their heads.
To
arms, to arms our
Country
had said.
They
fought, they died,
For
freedom we share.
What
have we done to
Show
that we care?
Raised
up our children
With
hatred every where?
Morals,
values, or work
Ethics;
Do we share?
Were
we at Woodstock
Proclaiming
to be free?
While
our brothers fought,
Dying
in war's across seas.
Dear
God let us turn,
So
our children will learn.
Freedom,
is not given;
"Freedom
is earned."
