Mallary Hope - Cost of Freedom (21 Guns) lyrics

rate me

Oh the lights of a small town

Shine a little brighter tonight

The candle light flickers inside the window

To honor the sacrifice

He came home in a casket

That's what the local news said

Mama buries her baby boy while

I stay safe in my bed

And the sound of 21 guns

Echoed up to the sky

The loss of a husband, a father, a son

Makes the whole world cry

And the angels sing

While we pray for peace

'Cause the cost of freedom

Is the sound of 21 guns

Now the church bells are ringing

Through this quiet town

And the choir is singing

His favorite hymn

And his daddy said

He didn't do this for the glory

And he sure didn't do it for the fame

He died fighting for something

He believed in and

We will remember his name

And the sound of 21 guns

Echoed up to the sky

The loss of a husband, a father, a son

Makes the whole world cry

And the angels sing

While we pray for peace

'Cause the cost of freedom

Is the sound of 21 guns

21 guns...

And the angels sing

While we pray for peace

'Cause the cost of freedom

Is the sound of 21 guns

Ohhhhhh

21, 21 guns

(drum refrain)
