LONG ROAD TO FREEDOM song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

it's a long road to freedom
a long road to a better way
a long road to freedom
but we'll get there someday

everybody has to fight
fight to be free
even in America
for the right to be free

236
years ago today
our founding fathers
put it all in play

declared independence
from the chosen King
took up the sword
and let our freedom ring

it's a long road to freedom
a long road to go
a long road to freedom
to work to make it so

so many people in so many lands
think they deserve the lives that they hold in their hands
but they don't realize it, they don't understand
that freedom is more than a word more than any man
can say

so many people take it all for granted
that the tree of liberty was in our country planted
but it must be watered with our sweat and blood
and there will be nothing nothing left but mud
and rain

it's a long road to freedom
so many failed and tried
a long road to freedom
so many men have died

and every generation
must take upon the task
and simple veneration
is not too much to ask

give honor to the dead
without whom we'd not be here
thank them for living out our lives
without slavery or fear

it's a long road to freedom
a long long long long road....
