Lyrics
Verse 1
They are brave
So proud to serve
Knowing one day that they may have to pay the price
No happy reunions
No airport photo ops
Just a family left with the biggest sacrifice
Waiting on a plane and a coffin wrapped in a flag
Chorus
They are brave
So proud to serve
Knowing one day that they may have to pay the price
No happy reunions
No airport photo ops
Just a family left with the biggest sacrifice
Waiting on a plane and a coffin wrapped in a flag
Verse 2
They are courageous
Left battered and bruised
In the line of fire yeah even though they survived They have scars and invisible wounds
PTSD to suffering TBIs
Learning how to stand, how to walk and to live again
Chorus
When you see that red, white and blue
What do those colors mean to you
Do you understand the true cost of living
In the USA when you see those colors wave
Tell me what do you see, ‘cause freedom
No freedom ain’t free
Bridge
Innocent who don’t have a choice
The baby boy never knowing their father’s voice
When you see that flag
Tell me what do you see
Do you understand the cost of liberty
Chorus / Outro
When you see that red, white and blue
What do those colors mean to you
Do you understand the true cost of living
In the USA when you see those colors wave
Tell me what do you see, ‘cause freedom
No freedom...
Ya, Freedom...
No freedom ain’t free
