They Paid The Price

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:03]Some came home in silence.

[00:00:09]Some never made it home at all.

[00:00:13]And some still [music] fight the war every single night inside their minds.

[00:00:23]This song's for every soldier who paid the price.

[00:00:28]>> [music] [music] [music] >> He kissed his little girl goodbye.

[00:00:53]>> [music] >> Held his wife one final time.

[00:01:00]Boarded that plane with tears [music] in [singing] his eyes.

[00:01:07]Still stood tall for the red, [music] white, and blue.

[00:01:15]Boots hit [music and singing] dirt in a foreign land.

[00:01:20]>> [music] >> Rifle shaking [singing] in his hands.

[00:01:26]Young boys turned into old men fast.

[00:01:31][music] Trying hard just to make it back.

[00:01:39]THEY PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR FREEDOM [music] TONIGHT.

[00:01:46]Some gave THEIR LIVES.

[00:01:50]SOME [screaming] LOST THEIR LIVES.

[00:01:53]Some [music] Some with missing limbs. [singing] Some came home just [music] broken [singing] within.

[00:02:06]But they fought through [music] hell so we could live free.

[00:02:12]God bless [music] those souls on Memorial Day. [singing] >> [music] >> Mama [music] still keeps his picture near. Talks to him like he's [music] still here.

[00:02:33]Folded flag upon the shelf. Can't fill the empty space [music] he left. Another soldier wakes at night still hearing echoes from the fight.

[00:02:45][music] Trying to smile through all the pain while fighting wars inside his brain.

[00:02:54]>> [music] >> THEY PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR [music] FREEDOM TONIGHT. Some gave their lives.

[00:03:04]>> [music] >> SOME LOST THEIR LIVES.

[00:03:08]SOME came [music] home with scars too deep.

[00:03:14]Some still cry themselves to sleep.

[00:03:21]But they stood [music] their ground [singing] through the smoke and flames so we could raise [music] our flags today. [music] Freedom ain't free.

[00:03:52]It was [music] bought with sacrifice, with tears, with blood, with names [music] CARVED INTO STONE.

[00:04:01]THEY PAID THE PRICE.

[00:04:05]AND WE REMEMBER TONIGHT EVERY FALLEN SOUL, every brave heart in the fight.

[00:04:15]AND THOUGH THE YEARS KEEP rolling on, their memory [music and singing] still stands strong.

[00:04:21]So, every time Old Glory >> [music] >> waves, we honor those who gave.

[00:04:29]>> [singing] [music] >> Gone, but [music] never forgotten.

[00:04:46]Happy Memorial Day.
