America: I Am Freedom

AMERICA: I AM FREEDOM

Lyrics by CMSgt Frederick Soechting Jr., USAF and Gene Triesch
Music & Arr. By Gene Triesch


I AM STRONG – LIKE THE MOUNTAIN LASTING
I AM GENTLE – LIKE A BIRD THAT’S NESTING
I AM FEROCIOUS – LIKE THE WOLF IN WINTER
I’M EVER CHANGING – LIKE STARS THAT GLITTER

I AM STEALTHY -- SHADOWS IN THE DARKNESS
THE STRENGTH OF UNITY – AND TOGETHERNESS
I AM FASTER -- THAN LIGHTENING IN A STORM
I AM THE EMBER – THAT HELPS THE WORLD KEEP WARM

I AM THE LEADER OF – CAUSES UNYIELDING
I AM THE FUEL – WHEN MOMENTUM’S BUILDING
AND I AM JUSTICE – THAT IS SWIFT AND SWEET
I AM DOOM TO – THE WICKED THAT I MEET

I AM A SOLDIER – IN THE LINE OF FIRE
WHEN FREEDOM CALLS – I’M A FREEDOM FIGHTER
I AM THE KEEPER – OF THE GATE OF FREEDOM
I AM THE KEEPER – OF LIBERTY’S DOOR





I AM SALVATION – TO THE POOR IN NEED
UNDOER OF -- THE MASTER OF ALL GREED
FEAR IN THE EYES – AND HEARTS OF EVIL MEN
I AM THE MOURNER – OF MY FALLEN CHILDREN

I AM FREEDOM -- STANDING IN THE HARBOR
STATUE OF LIBERTY – IN ALL ITS SPLENDOR
AND I WILL RISE ABOVE – MY FALLEN TOWERS
FOR IT'S FROM GOD ABOVE - I GET MY POWER

I AM THE POWER OF – MILLIONS WITH JUST ONE VOICE
DEFENDING THOSE – WHO DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE
I AM THE GLEAMING – AT TWILIGHT’S ONE LAST CALL
THE FIRST OF MY KIND – EXAMPLE THAT’S FOR ALL.

I AM AMERICA – ONE NATION UNDER GOD
FAITH OF OUR FATHERS -- SO FAITHFULLY DID TROD
I AM THE USA -- AND ALL ITS PEOPLE
THE CHURCH OF FREEDOM – LIBERTY MY STEEPLE
I AM AMERICA -- AND ALL ITS PEOPLE
THE CHURCH OF FREEDOM – JUSTICE MY STEEPLE
Tag: LIBERTY AND JUSTICE - THEY ARE MY STEEPLE
