    Here’s the second one.

    Freedom at Last
    Spangled bars and glistening stars
    Stitched in crimson, white and blue
    Blood-stained graves of the soldiers true
    Haunt the heart of their comrades coming home with scars.

    They say freedom isn’t truly free
    With them I’d have to agree
    Some hearts realize there’s more to this
    Than life, liberty and pursuit of happiness

    Though we claim to be free
    Are we really free indeed?

    In the land of the free
    And the home of the brave
    Have we been redeemed
    By the One who can save
    Is He the One our nation’s really under
    Are we truly freed or under a delusion of splendor?

    They cry give us freedom to speak
    What we want we’ll happ’ly seek
    But when true freedom on them calls
    Down they bunker and throw up high but wobbly walls

    Fiercely crying freedom they war
    But I’m afraid they forgot
    Freedom’s battle has once been fought
    And by dying it’s Champion is Conqueror

    Though we claim to be free
    Are we really free indeed?

    In the land of the free
    And the home of the brave
    Have we been redeemed
    By the One who can save
    Is He the One our nation’s really under
    Are we truly freed or under a delusion of splendor?

    At the foot of the old rugged Cross
    Come kneel, ponder on the loss
    The ultimate sacrifice
    Of the One who for us paid the ultimate price.

    No Ole Glory flies on the pole
    But a red-stained cross of wood
    Only Jesus Christ really could
    Give the gift of true freedom to a sinful soul.
