Somewhere a trumpet sounds in the night
A soldier is standing there
Its calling him out to the Stars and the Stripes
Its calling him God knows where
He kisses the ones he loves goodbye
And leaves in the dead of night
For freedom hell heed the call, leave all he knows
And for freedom hell stand and fight
And somewhere a man and wife cant believe
Theyre waving their girl goodbye
For gone are the days of pigtails and curls
And cannily lullabies
If they had their way shed stay young forever
And never be far from home
But freedom has drawn her heart to dangers shoal
And for freedom theyll let her go
And somewhere a thunderous crash in the night
It echoes all through the hills
Though many escape its wrath and its rage
A soldier lies wounded still
Remembering the land he loves, he cries
I love you with all my might
For freedom said Im her son whatever comes
And for freedom Ill say goodbye
And somewhere beneath the stars and the sky
Our flag is still standing there
She bled and she brought one land under God
Her promise still leads us there
Shes carried the lives of those before us
Shes buried the bold and brave
For freedom she holds our hopes
And for freedom shell ever wave
For Freedom; Matt Moran
