    I watched the flag pass by one day.
    It fluttered in the breeze
    A young soldier saluted it, and then
    He stood at ease.
    I looked at him in uniform
    So young, so tall, so proud
    With hair cut square and eyes alert
    He'd stand out in any crowd.
    I thought how many men like him
    Had fallen through the years.
    How many died on foreign soil?
    How many mothers' tears?
    How many Pilots' planes shot down?
    How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
    No Freedom isn't free

    I heard the sound of taps one night,
    When everything was still.
    I listened to the bugler play
    And felt a sudden chill.
    I wondered just how many times
    That taps had meant "Amen"
    When a flag had draped a coffin
    of a brother or a friend.
    I thought of all the children,
    Of the mothers and the wives,
    Of fathers, sons and husbands
    With interrupted lives.
    I thought about a graveyard at the
    bottom of the sea
    Of unmarked graves in Arlington.....
    No -- Freedom isn't free!!

    My special thanks to those who were not as fortunate as I to make it home.
    And let us not forget those not in uniform who still fought and died for the freedom we enjoy.

    Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
    Can you tell me where he's gone?
    He freed a lot of people,
    But it seems the good they die young.
    You know, I just looked around and he's gone.

    Anybody here seen my old friend John?
    Can you tell me where he's gone?
    He freed a lot of people,
    But it seems the good they die young.
    I just looked around and he's gone.

    Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
    Can you tell me where he's gone?
    He freed a lot of people,
    But it seems the good they die young.
    I just looked 'round and he's gone.

    Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
    Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
    And we'll be free
    Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...

    Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
    Can you tell me where he's gone?
    I thought I saw him walk up over the hill,
    With Abraham, Martin and John."
