It Has Always Been The Soldier
by PromisedLand Quartet

Album: For Freedom

V1) It's not ABS or CBS; NBC or CNN that has given us the freedom of the press.
Not Jerry Falwell, Larry Flint, Ted Kennedy, or even Jessie Jackson, giving us the freedom,
to verbally express. Not the campus organizers, or all the demonstrations
giving us the freedom, to march, freely march and disagree. Oh can't you see?!

Chorus ) It has always, been the soldier, who has made the sacrifice.
Standing strong and, proud in battle, willing to, lay down his life.

V2) Somewhere there's a soldier, and he's looking at a picture, of his little girl,
How he wishes he were home! And somewhere there's a soldier, and he's reading a love letter,
from his wife, and she is telling him how she feels so all alone. And somewhere there's a mom & dad, who cry late in the night, for a son who won't be coming home; A son who gave their life. Freedom isn't free! Oh can't you see.

(bridge) To the angry man who shakes his fist and burns the stars and stripes;
That same flag that drapes the coffins of those who gave their lives.
There's no other place that you can go, or you have ever been
where the blood of soldiers gives the right, to burn the flag again!

Chorus 2) It has always been the soldier, on land, in air, and sea.
It has always been the soldier, fighting for our liberty!
