A Price Tag On Independence
By B F Malone
I'm glad I was born in America
I'm grateful that I am free
But there are those imprisoned still
Preserving that freedom for me
They went away a long time ago
Proud and happy to go
That they would stay over thirty years
Was something they didn't know
Some came home at the end of the war
Most of us thought they all had
But there are many families out there
Still waiting for their Dad
Husbands and brothers are missing still
So many years have gone by
The families ask "Where could they be?"
They don't believe the lie
We need to bring our people back
It's the least that we can do
We have to fight for their release
While they fight for me and you
So celebrate on the Fourth of July
Be happy and rejoice
But pray for our POW's
They need us to be their voice
