Freedom's cost comes with a price
A nation bows its head.
As those of us who love her dear
To serve her we are lead.
Don't think to offer a reply
When they are called upon
To offer up their very best,
To sing their victory song.
I do not cry for those that died
But those they've left behind.
For these are with the Father now
And those of His own kind.
And I too cry for the untouched
As they live life day to day
Who think it naught of this price paid
And they tuck it all away.
So to the families of these brave
I bid them God's sweet peace
For in His love we find our rest
And from our strivings…cease.
