In Freedom's Name

Where flowers now in bloom
Was once a ragged field
All shrouded in gloom
With fractures unhealed
Like so many wounds
Too wide to ever seal
Too painful to reveal

Those we lost along the years
They who fell among our tears
All who died in freedom’s name
In our hearts remain

Where earth was once aflame
Now all about is calm
Though time can’t erase
The everlasting scars
Their sacrifice made

Those we lost along the years
They who fell among our tears
All who died in freedom’s name
In our hearts remain

Where flowers now in bloom
Was once a ragged field
All shrouded in gloom
With fractures unhealed
Like so many wounds
