Lyrics
RIGHT TO BE FREE
I STAND FOR MY COUNTRY FOR THAT FLAG I WILL FIGHT
I STAND FOR MY FAMILY AND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
I FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF SOULS I DO NOT KNOW
IN LANDS OF OPPRESSION WHERE THE DEVIL DARE NOT GO
CHORUS
I WILL STAND ON THAT FRONT LINE WHERE MY FATE MIGHT BE BOUND
IF DARKNESS COMES ABOUT ME I WILL STAND MY GROUND
I WILL HOLD TO A PROMISE THAT I MADE TO ME
WHAT I FIGHT FOR MOST IS THE RIGHT TO BE FREE
I WILL FIGHT THE TERROR THAT HIDES ITS FACE IN SHAME
THAT PREYS UPON THE INNOCENT WHO'LL NEVER BE THE SAME
I WILL STAND FOR THE ONES WHO CAN'T STAND ON THEIR OWN
I'LL SHOW NO MERCY FOR THOSE WHO TRY TO TAKE MY HOME
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I HAVE SEEN SO MANY HEROES WHO'VE PAID THE HIGHEST PRICE
NOW TOUCH THE FACE OF GOD FOR THEIR SACRIFICE
HERE IS TO THE BRAVEST WE STAND ONE AND ALL
LEST WE FORGET ALL THOSE WHO DID FALL
CHORUS
