Sacrifice

Freedom isn’t free…
At least, it never was for me.
We all make a sacrifice…
Everything has a price.

I gave all I had,
Always; through happy and sad.
Freedom isn’t free.
At least, it never was for me.

They took us and shaped us;
fitting into their mold was a must.
We all make a sacrifice…
Everything has a price.

Out in the trenches, alone and scared.
I can’t help but to wish that I was more prepared.
Freedom isn’t free…
At least, it never was for me.

The sound, the sound!
My body shakes, my head and heart pound.
We all make a sacrifice,
Everything has a price.

As I begin to cry, I utter one final ‘goodbye’.
They sucked us all in with a lie.
‘Cause freedom isn’t free…
Never has been, never will be.
