Standing on a hillside
Where the river meets the sea
White crosses without number
Line the fields of peace

And each one a silent witness, staring back at me
Every cross a story of another place in time
Where young men thought it was worthy to give their life for mine
And for the sake of honor left their dreams behind

And for the price they paid
I'm forever in their debt
Their memory will not die
'Cause I will not forget

I will stand and hold my head up high
I will dedicate my life
To the glory of the ones who had to die
I will live, live what I believe
If for no one else but me
To remember
Freedom's never free

It was on another hillside
Just outside the city gates
The battle lines were drawn
As soldiers took their place

The Father watched in silence as a cross was raised
With freedom drawing closer He took His final breath
He drank our cup of guilt and took the sting from death

Heaven's finest Soldier clothed in human flesh
And for the price He paid I'm forever in His debt
The cross will never die
'Cause I will not forget

I will stand and hold my head up high
I will dedicate my life
To the glory of the One who had to die
I will live, live what I believe
If for no one else but me
To remember 
Freedom's never free

I will walk free
I will stay free
I will live free
I will die free

I will stand and hold my head up high
I will dedicate my life
To the glory of the One who had to die
I will live, live what I believe
If for no one else but me
I will remember 

I will stand and hold my head up high
I will dedicate my life
To the glory of the One who had to die
I will live, live what I believe
If for no one else but me
I will remember 
Freedom's never free
