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
And every cross a story of another place in time
Where young men thought it 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 that freedom's never free

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 that freedom's never free

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

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 that freedom's never free
Freedom's never free
If for no one else but me
I will stand, I will live
If for no one else but me
Live what I believe
Remember that freedom's never free
I will remember
Freedom's never free
I will stand, I will live
If for no one else but me
Live what I believe
To the glory of the One who had to die...
