Freedom's Never Free - Phillips, Craig & Dean

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…
