Freedom or Peace

by Ronald J. Jones

I’VE ONLY LIVED IN FREEDOM
AND PRAY I ALWAYS WILL
THE BLOOD OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS
HAVE ALWAYS PAID THE BILL

FREEDOM ISN’T EASY
BUT IT’S EVERY HUMANS RIGHT
TO CHOOSE THEIR WAY OF LIVING
AND THE SOLDIERS CHOOSE TO FIGHT

THE WORLD DEPENDS UPON THEM
TO DEFEND THEIR LIBERTY
AND THEY KNOW MORE THAN ANYONE
THAT FREEDOM ISN’T FREE

TO MARCH FOR PEACE AND DEMONSTRATE
CAN DEMORALIZE THEIR WILL
FOR A S SOLDIER FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM
THEY SOMETIMES HAVE TO KILL

IF YOU CHOOSE TO MARCH FOR PEACE
AND THE SOLDIERS CHOOSE TO FIGHT
BE SURE THAT YOU SUPPORT THEM
FOR GIVING YOU THAT RIGHT

GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN SOLDIER
