Marched down dusty roads as kids, with sparklers in our hands,
Saluting to the red, white, blue, oh, how we took a stand,
Those days of innocence, so bright, a hundred million miles away.
Remember, Freedom, how you made us feel so brave.

Oh Freedom, my forgotten friend, you came and left so fast,
In the blink of an eye, you're a memory, in the shadows of the past,
The laughter we shared, the tears we shed, in the heartland where we dreamed,
Oh, Freedom, my wise ole friend, you're much more than you seemed.

The years rolled on like a country song, on a radio late at night,
Lost battles here and there, but fought for  what was right,
In fields of gold and stories told, of what you mean to me,
Freedom, my elusive friend, you're the one that made us sing.

Oh Freedom, long lost elusive friend, you came and left so fast,
In the blink of an eye, you're a memory, in the shadows of the past,
Laughter shared,  and the tears we shed, in the heartland where we dreamed,
Oh, Freedom, my weary friend, you're much more than you seemed.

I see you in faces, of those who gave  all,
The sacrifices, the dreams they chased, and answered Countries' call,
In every small town diner, with flags flying proud and high,
Freedom, my tore off  friend, you're the stars  in our sky.

In moments of reflection, as the sun begins to set,
Your memory still lingers, with the dreams we can't forget,
The pride that we once carried, like a banner in the breeze,
Oh Freedom, my lifelong friend, you're the one who brought us peace.

Oh Freedom, my dear lost friend, you came and left so fast,
In the blink of an eye, you're a memory, in the shadows of the past,
The laughter we shared, the tears we shed, in the heartland where we dreamed,
Oh, Freedom, my constant friend, you're much more than you seemed.

Now the world keeps on turning, the years pass one by one,
But your spirit still endures, under each new rising sun,
Your voice still echoes loud and clear, a melody so sweet,
Oh Freedom, my welcome friend,  time to come home, to me.

Gathered 'round the old flagpole, under skies so wide and free, Whispered tales of liberty, and eagles soared above the trees, Laughter rang like Fourth of July, fireworks in the night, Celebrating freedom, my elusive friend, in that golden summer light. Marched down dusty roads as kids, with sparklers in our hands, Saluting to the red, white, blue, oh, how we took a stand, Those days of innocence, so bright, a hundred million miles away.
