For Freedom (Version Without Quotes) - Avalon |
| [00:49.39] |
Somewhere a trumpet sounds in the night |
| [00:54.15] |
A soldier is standing there |
| [00:58.96] |
It's calling him out to the stars and the stripes |
| [01:03.85] |
It's calling him god knows where |
| [01:08.75] |
He kisses the ones he loves goodbye |
| [01:13.37] |
And leaves in the dead of night |
| [01:18.32] |
For freedom he'll heed the call |
| [01:22.02] |
Leave all he knows |
| [01:25.84] |
And for freedom he'll stand and fight |
| [01:41.04] |
And somewhere a man and wife |
| [01:43.81] |
Can't believe they're waving their girl goodbye |
| [01:50.46] |
For gone are the days of pigtails |
| [01:54.20] |
And curls and candlelight lullabies |
| [01:59.77] |
If they had their way she'd stay young forever |
| [02:04.98] |
And never be far from home |
| [02:09.57] |
But freedom has drawn her heart to danger's shore |
| [02:16.88] |
And for freedom they'll let her go |
| [02:31.87] |
And somewhere a thunderous crash in the night |
| [02:36.47] |
It echoes all through the hills |
| [02:41.69] |
Though many escape its wrath and its rage |
| [02:46.27] |
A soldier lies wounded still |
| [02:51.28] |
Remembering the land he loves he cries |
| [02:56.12] |
I've loved you with all my might |
| [03:00.50] |
For freedom said "I'm her son whatever comes |
| [03:06.29] |
(Whatever comes) |
| [03:07.58] |
And for freedom I'll say goodbye" |
| [03:21.85] |
And somewhere beneath the stars and the sky |
| [03:26.46] |
Our flag is still standing there |
| [03:28.52] |
(She's still standing there) |
| [03:31.57] |
She bled and she brought one land under God |
| [03:35.64] |
(Under God) |
| [03:36.46] |
Her colors still lead us there |
| [03:39.47] |
(It's still there) |
| [03:41.22] |
She's carried the lives of those before us |
| [03:45.83] |
She's buried the bold and brave |
| [03:48.95] |
(the bold and brave) |
| [03:50.82] |
For freedom she holds our hopes |
| [03:53.79] |
(she holds our hopes) |
| [03:54.86] |
And and hands up high |
| [03:58.16] |
And for freedom she'll ever wave |
