"Freedom"

We saw the purple majesty with seas of blood below
Heard freedom crying in the wind
Felt peace approaching slow.
Fell to our knees in agony
And wept for all we lost
And pledged a life led faithfully
In view of the great cost.

This facade of strength and pow'r will fall
With little left to give
Its spartan bleakness displaces all
Denies a place to live
But crashing waves and monsoon force
Will all come to an end
And we will drift unto the shore
And find our place again
