A THREAT OF FREEDOM

We all heard his threat of freedom
As he spoke to every nation
With a promise to end tyranny
All around our globe
No thought of lives already lost
As a threat of freedom rings

He said it’s our nation’s policy
To force democracy everywhere
We will use our force of arms
To rid this world of tyranny
I guess here we go again
Oh how great the deadly cost
As a threat of freedom rings

While tens of millions of Iraqis
He says have achieved their freedoms
I think he forgot to mention
There are hundreds of thousands
Because of him are dead today
As a threat of freedom rings

While our soldiers die everyday
The rest waiting for one war to end
Desperately wanting to come home
Today realize many others may begin
Because a tyrant is on a mission
Ridding this world of tyranny
As his threat of freedom rings
