Album: The Awakening Vol 1

(Verse 1)
Freedom is not free—it bleeds and it burns,
It’s paid in blood that never returns.
It walks through fire, it bears the pain,
Of those who stood through loss and strain.

It’s not a gift we earn by deed,
But one that lives when brave hearts bleed.
From battlefields to prison cells,
The cost of freedom rings like bells.

(Chorus)
Freedom is not free—it’s a cross to bear,
A sacred flame we’re called to share.
It’s not a right without a fight,
It’s guarded in both day and night.
So rise, O soul, and take your stand—
For liberty is not man’s hand.
It’s Elohim who gives and truth that keeps—
And freedom lives where courage weeps.

(Verse 2)
In 1776, they wrote with fire,
A dream that dared to climb up higher.
But every line in that decree
Was signed by lives who chose to be free.

From soldiers’ blood to prophets' cries,
From silent graves where valor lies—
We hold the torch they passed with tears,
And guard the flame through coming years.

(Bridge 1 – Spoken/Sung)
"Freedom is never more than one generation away..."
Reagan’s words still warn today.
It’s not passed down in blood or name,
But by those who rise and stake their claim.

We fight not just for rights we own,
But so our children know they're known.
To speak, to pray, to stand, to choose—
And not to bow or ever lose.

(Chorus)
Freedom is not free—it’s a vow we keep,
For justice wakes when tyrants sleep.
It’s more than flags and marching bands—
It’s choosing truth with trembling hands.
So lift the banner, raise it high—
Though mocked below, it's seen on high.
We are the voice that must not cease—
To guard this land and fight for peace.

(Verse 3)
But freedom’s more than earthly breath,
It’s found in Yah, who conquered death.
He bore the chains we could not break,
Upon His back, for Heaven’s sake.

He bled to free us from our sin,
So we could rise and live again.
And now we walk, redeemed and bold,
Not bound by flesh, but grace untold.

(Bridge 2 – Spiritual)
Freedom’s not a license to stray,
It’s power to love and walk Yah’s way.
It’s not escape from every rule,
But serving truth—Elohim’s sacred school.

It’s not just flags or rights or votes,
But righteousness in living oaths.
It’s what we do when no one sees—
The price of quiet victories.

(Final Chorus – Soaring and Triumphant)
Freedom is not free—it calls for more,
Than standing safe behind a door.
It asks for courage, heart, and trust,
To rise when laws are cracked and rust.
So We the People must arise—
And see through every dark disguise.
For liberty is not just me—
It’s all of us—
**And FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

(Outro – Soft, Reflective)
For every child, and every name,
Let not their sacrifice be vain.
So speak with boldness, walk with grace—
And meet your duty, face to face.
