Hello mother, it's been long
I'm still here fighting, be proud of your son
My friends are dying and I just wanna come home

The stars are under a different sky
Your prayers must be working 'cause I'm still alive
This place is so cold and I just wanna come home

I'm fighting, I'm bleeding
I know what's coming but I'm still breathing
Not giving up, not losing love
Not running away, I'm not afraid
I miss America, my Miss America
When does the fighting end, where does the freedom begin?

Hey there love, how have the kids been
Wish I could be there to tuck them in
But freedom is calling while your tears are falling

I've seen lives broke in two
Through these eyes: red, white and blue
I know why I'm here, still, I just wanna go home

I'm fighting, I'm bleeding
I know what's coming but I'm still breathing
Not giving up, not losing love
Not running away, I'm not afraid
I miss America, my Miss America
When does the fighting end, where does the freedom begin?

My hair stands on it's end
Chilling thoughts as I defend
Running for cover, take cover my brother
To die another day as that banner yet waves

Hey there son, it's your time to go
I'm so proud, more than you know
But freedom ain't free and now you're just like me

I'm fighting, I'm bleeding
I know what's coming but I'm still breathing
Not giving up, not losing love
Not running away, I'm not afraid
I miss America, my Miss America
When does the fighting end, where does the freedom begin?

Where does the freedom begin?
I miss America, my Miss America
When does the fighting end, where does the freedom begin?
