Freedom is hard to earn

And is lost too fast

Freedom is what we all hope for

Yet me may never gain

In the fight to be free

It might never be obtained

The piece for freedom

Is a high price to pay

One moment it can be given

The next it is taken away

So keep your head up

And fight until you get sent to the grave

So people want to give up

But you can't when your freedoms at stake

So keep on fighting

No matter who's in your way

It could be the military, another country, or yourself that's trying to take it today

But tomorrow can always be better

If you start taking those chances today

Don't let fear in your heart

Just keep those thoughts at bay

You are the only you

No one else can make you stray

You morals and values is all that it takes

Because those in search of freedom

Are the one that no one can shake

Stay with me now

We will continue this fight

Once it's all over

There will be no more goodbyes

Only smiles on everyone's face

But if you give up

And let the enemy stay

Then your freedom wasn't yours anyway

This is your life

So don't just stand by

Don't let failure scare you away

Because the price or freedom is high

But the price of control and misfortune

Those are the feelings that you can't escape

So fight for freedom today

This may be the last chance for us

The last chance to be free

So let us come together

Just you and me

Let's rise up against

All this evil and hate

Let's not bow to corruption

Let's not make the same mistakes

For the people in the past

They are easily swayed

But for this new generation we must stay awake

No one can breed

Love that turns into hate

Hate grows deep

When there's nothing to save

The price of freedom

Is that a price you're willing to pay?

If not then let me know

So I'm not wasting time on something that is fake

This is the world I love

And what I love is great

In search of freedom

I found my saying grace

It's not just an opinion

This isn't just words that I say

This is how I truly feel

And what my kind makes

So if freedom is what I want

Then I'll give all that it takes

Before I let you strip

What I don't want you to take

This is the land of the free.and the home of the brave

This is America now we all must stand with Ukraine

Cause there price for freedom

Is that lives are being lost everyday

So let's pray for their family's

They're soldier are fighting great

Let's help then kick the Russians out

It's time to watch them win this war

Cause they deserve freedom

Just as we did way back in the day

Soldiers are dying

And blood has been shed

But this war is not close to an end

If you ask for my help

Imma jump up say horray

Cause in this bloodshed for freedom

I know which side I'm gonna take

I stand with my brother and sister

I won't be scarred away

That's easy for me to say

When Ukraine is over 5000 miles away

I know you're all scared

Now that Russia has envaded

But fear not yet

The US will fight with you

Fear not yet

No torment will sudue you

Stand with you now

And we will fight these madmen

And your freedom will be with you

Ukraine. I stand with you.
