, The Cost Tabs
Artist/Band: Original Artist Tabs
Song: The Cost Tab
i wrote this right after 9/11 , this is how i felt after the events that took place and this
how i viewed them , any comments or suggestions would be greatly apprecitated
The cost
When I was growing up
I remember the stories my grandpa used to tell
About what this country had been through
All the tears that were cried and all the brave me that fell
See I always knew millions of lives were lost
But never really understood the cost
Freedom is how we live
Its not something easily gained
It's in the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
And burns with Kennedy's flame
Its lady liberty in the harbor standing tall
It's the names of fallen hero engraved on the Vietnam wall
The cost of freedom
The red, white and blue
What this country is built on
Lie in me and you
It's the spirit
The desire
The never-ending fire
It's the blood that was shed
It's the lives that were lost
It's the price we pay for the American dream
It's the cost
Watching the Towers Fall
I was speechless I didn't know what to say
And it seemed that the American dream
Was slowly fading away
And as the tears began to fall
An this country fell apart
We all reached for what we held
True in our hearts
And as we realized what had happened
And all that was lost
We finally truly understood
The cost
The cost of freedom
The red, white and blue
What this country is built on
Lie in me and you
It's the spirit
The desire
The never-ending fire
It's the blood that was shed
It's the lives that were lost
It's the price we pay for the American dream
It's the cost
It's the price we pay
Oh it's the dear price we pay
It's the price we pay for the American dream
It's the cost
