He came to set his people free
To fight for he knew was right
He had to let them all see
To bring them into the light
Taught them how to protect their land
Made warriors out of humble men
To make battle and let them understand
To fight for freedom, again and again
Battled on in blood and in glory
Until the day he faced them all alone
And history will never forget his story
A man for until battle they did hone
They tried to break his spirit, his very soul
He defied the torture, the pain, the kingdom
Died with one word that continued to grow
A word that became immortal, a word called freedom
To fight for he knew was right
He had to let them all see
To bring them into the light
Taught them how to protect their land
Made warriors out of humble men
To make battle and let them understand
To fight for freedom, again and again
Battled on in blood and in glory
Until the day he faced them all alone
And history will never forget his story
A man for until battle they did hone
They tried to break his spirit, his very soul
He defied the torture, the pain, the kingdom
Died with one word that continued to grow
A word that became immortal, a word called freedom
