Free Still

America is a great place to live, if you like being free,
But if you think about it, many have died so this could be,
And many are scattered all over the world, defending our freedom still,
Would it be too much to tell them thanks, let them know just how we feel?
For their sacrifices are greater, than we will ever know,
And they cannot say they're not going, when they are told to go,
They leave behind family, friends, and freedom, just to keep us safe,
They are the barrier between us and evil, in them freedom puts its faith,
For we would not be where we are today, without their lives on the line,
And many have been on more than one tour, gone over time after time,
Be grateful for your freedom, more often than just Independence Day,
And if you think you cannot help them, remember that you can always pray.
