Freedom Cries

Verse 1:
There's an empty place at this table
With reservations made for two
Another anniversary’s passing
I'm here alone without you   

Our little girl turned seven her last birthday
Babe, she looks just like you
Your folks came by; they still check on us
Just like they promised they’d do

Pre Chorus:
I smile and tell them I'm doing all right
But the truth is I'm still caught in this fight

Chorus:
Freedom Cries
Oh how Freedom Cries
I know I gotta be strong
Gotta dry my eyes
But each and every day
Freedom Cries   

Verse 2: 
When duty called our lives changed,
A separation, not by choice               
I'd give anything to hold you now                    
I just need to hear your voice 

Pre Chorus:
I smile and tell myself I'm doing all right
But the truth is I'm still caught in this fight

Freedom Cries. ..

Bridge
Do you think they understand sacrifice
And that freedom isn't free?
You're my hero till the end of time
But I still need you here with me   

Freedom Cries...
