What is the Cost of Freedom? – Down Past the Fountains

LYRICS ::

Believers in peace stand with their hands empty
For the pen is mightier than the sword
Hope’s in the distance, walking hand in hand with love
& it’s getting closer every day

What is the cost of freedom?
If it’s free, why should we have to pay?
Or have we just be taught & tricked
That things have to be that way?

I see innocent lives being spared
From pain, fear, & sorrow
Coming together in the noonday sun
To make a better tomorrow

What is the cost of freedom?
If it’s free, why should we have to pay?
Or have we just be taught & tricked
That things have to be that way?

I feel the breeze in my hair; the sun shines warm
As people together, taking shelter from the storm
Hear the broken chains falling into the puddles
As love & peace are freed

What is the cost of freedom?
If it’s free, why should we have to pay?
Or have we just be taught & tricked
That things have to be that way?

The lamp post in the dark beneath the pearly moon
In my soul, I can feel the change coming soon
For I know that to freedom, there is no cost
Except the discovery of love & the guiding of the lost

What is the cost of freedom?
If it’s free, why should we have to pay?
Or have we just be taught & tricked
That things have to be that way?

What is the cost of freedom?
If it’s free, why should we have to pay?
Or have we just be taught & tricked
That things have to be that way?
