So many times we fail to see

Why we’re able to live free

We take for granted it’s the way

It’s supposed to be

Oh but there’s millions of reasons why

Lying in the bloodied ground

We walk the backwoods

And open fields of our hometown

Never thinking about the price

Of our feet walking on the grass and dirt

Paid for in blood of the millions

Who long ago passed this way

Just so on this very day

We can walk where we please

As free as ever man has been

We look around us

But mostly see our own gripes

We act as though

Everything is owed us

The world revolves around our needs

Only one thing matters

Just what we feel

We deserve today

But buried in the ground

We think we own

Are the stories told in blood

Of why we’re able to make our claim

And walk as free men

Through the backwoods and open fields

Of our hometown

So take a moment to kiss the ground

Thank the millions

Who came before us

Just so on this very day

We can walk

Where we please
