thank you

India Arie

Somewhere there's a mother
crying in her hands,
praying for the son who's
fighting in the sand.
Somewhere theres a boy who's
in a danger zone,
fighting to ensure his
mother's safe at home.
And oh say can you see,
that oh freedom isn't free.

Thank you,
for doing what you do to
make sure we have the right to
live the way we choose.
Someone had to sacrifice,
risk their own to save a life.
Thank you for doing what you do.
What you do.
What you do.
What you do.

Somewhere there's a father
thinking of his child.
He couldn't be more proud but
afraid all the while.
And somewhere theres a girl who's
in a danger zone.
Fighting to ensure her
father's safe at home.

And oh, say can you see
that oh freedom isn't free.
We thank you
for doing what you do to
make sure we have the right to
live the way we choose.
We thank you
for being one of the few who
go through what you go through
who walk in your shoes.

Someone had to sacrifice
risk their own to save a life.

Know that we are praying
Praying for you every day.
Know that we are waiting
And we are so proud to say
Thank you
for doing what you do to
to make sure we have the right to
live the way we choose.
We thank you
for being one of the few who
go through what you go through
who walk in your shoes.
Someone had to sacrifice
risk their own to save a life.
Thank you for doing what you do.
You bring pride
What you do
You bring hope
What you do
Yes you do
What you do
