I don't wanna start a fight
I always try to do what's right
So put your weapons down, we can work it out
Don't get me wrong, I ain't no pacifist
For peace, gotta pay a price
And I'll defend what is mine
Fight for what I love, help me, God above
All it takes is one to rise up and resist
Cost you everything when you're at war
These three things I'd die for
My faith, my family, my freedom, that's what's backin' me
Gives me a reason for living
I've gotta fight for what I believe in, believe it
Love, loyalty, I pledge fidelity
In this land of liberty, it's everything
My faith, my family, my freedom's all that matters to me
A kid arrested in the town
He read the verses too loud
But burn the cities down, celebs will bail you out
Where'd we go wrong? I can't make sense of this
So just leave our kids alone
Better not break into this home
'Cause where I come from we always stand as one
Where we belong, we won't stand for this
Cost you everything when you're at war
These three things I'd die for
My faith, my family, my freedom, that's what's backin' me
Gives me a reason for living
I've gotta fight for what I believe in, believe it
Love, loyalty, I pledge fidelity
In this land of liberty, it's everything
My faith, my family, my freedom's all that matters to me, oh
To me, oh
When darkness divides us
I believe that love can conquer all
Courageous, united
We stand all for
My faith, my family, my freedom
My faith, my family, my freedom, that's what's backin' me
Gives me a reason for living
I've gotta fight for what I believe in, believe it
Love, loyalty, I pledge fidelity
In this land of liberty, it's everything
My faith, my family, my freedom's all that matters to me (that's all that matters to me), oh
To me (that's all that matters to me), oh
That's all that matters to me
I always try to do what's right
So put your weapons down, we can work it out
Don't get me wrong, I ain't no pacifist
For peace, gotta pay a price
And I'll defend what is mine
Fight for what I love, help me, God above
All it takes is one to rise up and resist
Cost you everything when you're at war
