Faith and Freedom Lyrics

In trying to silence one voice,they created thousands and thousandsIn trying to end a conversation,they started millions of talksAnd that is the thingWe learned about faith and freedomYou can’t kill themYou can try to suppress themYou can try to silence themBut faith and freedom always find a wayLike water finding cracks in a dam

In trying to silence one voice,they created thousands and thousandsIn trying to end a conversation,they started millions of talksAnd that is the thingWe learned about faith and freedomYou can’t kill themYou can try to suppress themYou can try to silence themBut faith and freedom always find a wayLike water finding cracks in a dam

In trying to silence one voice,they created thousands and thousandsIn trying to end a conversation,they started millions of talksAnd that is the thingWe learned about faith and freedomYou can’t kill themYou can try to suppress themYou can try to silence themBut faith and freedom always find a wayLike water finding cracks in a dam

Ready lyrics

Let’s make it clear: They weren’t just against meThey are against the U.S.The United States and us

I’m not a billionaireI’m not richI’m a combat veteranAnd a dad with 5 kids

I want to make a differenceThere will be no quarterIt is no longer about winningIt is about freedom, our freedom

Everyone is tired of endless warEveryone is tired of being poorEveryone is tired of corruptionEveryone wants more prosecution

This is a land our forefathers imaginedA land our great-grandparents builtA land lost sadly by our parentsA Republic left for us to restore

Remember, it was your choiceI’m ready to die for itI know where I’m goingAre you ready to die for it?

Remember, it was your choiceI’m ready to die for itI know where I’m goingAre you ready to die for it?

It’s Not That Easy is a country ballad with lyrics adapted from an article by Ward Clark, columnist for RedState (https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/01/26/what-would-life-really-look-like-under-a-totalitarian-regime-n2198524).

It’s Not That Easy

In a dictatorship everything is gone.The First and Second Amendments are gone.No free speech, ever again.No freedom of conscience.No right to bear arms.All the Bill of Rights is gone.The Constitution is suspended.Elections are cancelled orAre one-party, one-choice sham elections.That’s what a dictatorial regime looks like.

We’ve seen this happen, time and again,in Lenin and Stalin’s Soviet Union,in Mao’s China, in Pol Pot’s Cambodia,in Castro’s Cuba, and in North Korea.It’s the left that does these things.It’s the left that always calls for more government.It’s always the left that wants to throttle dissent.It’s always the left that wants to disarm us,To intimidate us, to control us,And to sweep us aside if we oppose them.They can’t.In the United States, it’s just not that easy.

In the United States, it’s just not that easy.
