The US turns 250 this year. If it weren’t for our brave men and women who protect us every day on the frontlines, we would not be standing here today. This song is for them.

"To the brave veterans who paid the ultimate price:
You stood in the breach when freedom called.
You gave everything so we could live in peace, sing our songs, and raise our families under God’s grace.
Your courage echoes in every note, every verse, and every heartbeat of a grateful nation.
We honor you. We remember you. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten." ~ Hunter Mayberry

Lyrics

I'm holding tight
On to that line
We’re finally marching forward now

Some won’t fall
Some gave it all
Their spirits are fighting with me now

Guns blast out like thunder
Rolls along the ground
We were marching towards the fire
And we won’t be turned around

Where I prayed my hands stop shaking
But I held position tight
Cause the price to keep my freedom
May be my very life

Track those shadows on the hillside
Watch that movement in the trees
Were pulsing like steady heartbeats
We fight for all we believe

Fight for survival
Fight for the brave
Fight for the brothers
For the ones that we can't save
Fight through the darkness
Fight through the pain
Freedom has a price to be paid

Shots went through the silence
Fires through the sky
The old began to quiver
And the young began to die
A fallen man beside me
In the sacrifice he gave
On his lips as they laid open
Was a prayer he never made

Every step was getting harder
Every breath is weighed in pain
Every move is getting closer
To the moment when you’re safe

Fight for survival
Fight for the brave
Fight for the brothers
For the ones that we can't save
Fight through the darkness
Fight through the pain
Freedom has a price to be paid

The sound can fall away
Like a moment out of time
I would give everything
To keep your way of life

Is a man made of his ashes
Is he only born to die
I’m the song that lives beyond me
When the flag is raised on high

Fight for survival
Fight for the brave
Fight for the brothers
The ones that we can't save
Fight through the darkness
Fight through the pain
Freedom has a price to be paid
Freedom has a price to be paid
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom has a price to be paid
Freedom has a price to be paid
