FIRE OF FREEDOM
©2023 Cynthia Emmets, Lisa Aschmann
VERSE 1 Sound of thunder, wind in my face
Smell of the ocean was never erased
They fed the fire of freedom
So our borders were safe
CHORUS: Fire of freedom burns ever bright
Fire of freedom helps me through the night
I’m not a hero, I’m just a man
With the fire of freedom for my homeland
VERSE 2 I took cover with only my thoughts
I prayed that my family wouldn’t be caught
Life is so precious, time cannot be bought
CHORUS
BRIDGE: The little things I took for granted
Now are gifts from God
I’m seeing with new eyes
My heart’s only desire (is)
CHORUS
VERSE 3 Tears of terror still burn my cheeks
Heartbeats pounding, I’ll never leave
We need the courage, we’ll fight and believe
CHORUS
