Freedom Growing

Verse 1
I’m standing on a hill
The wind is gently blowing
Darkness is falling fast
The lights below are glowing

It looks like my childhood home
A peaceful place to be growing
But now I soldier in a distant land
Where fear and sand are blowing

Verse 2
I joined the force to test myself
To be the best and showing
That I could be a rock upon
Others could be knowing

My own family left behind
My duty now is commanding
Only the best can wear the uniform
Winning the peace is demanding

CHORUS
Now I am fighting the terror
That’s trying to end our way of life
Now I stand with others to defend
Those who believe in Freedom Growing
Those who believe in Freedom Growing

Verse 3
Today we had to kill three men
As they attacked our convoy going
In the name of God they tried to stop
Our building schools for children knowing

Many have died in the daily hell
As they try to break our will and heart
But millions now depend on us
To prevail and give their hope a start

CHORUS
Now I stand with others to defend
Those who fight for Freedom Growing
Those who fight for Freedom Growing
Those who fight for Freedom Growing
