I GOT TO BE FREE
Acoustic version nothing fancy.
I GOT TO BE FREE
Arthur Holt/Anthony Curatolo
Can you see my country is the land of the free
Where my daddy struggled to raise our family
He said nothing’s free except the pride you carry inside
And to struggle to keep free, what you got to be
Chorus
I got to be free
We're in the land of sweet liberty
I place my hand on my heart when our flag is raised
When I see the red, white, and blue waving for you and me
I know I got to be, I got to be free
A scarred old man walks with a cane in my hometown
Fought in a war to stop our flag from being torn down
Reminds me that daddy didn’t die a forgotten man
In memory he's still fighting for this land
Chorus
I got to be free
We're in the land of sweet liberty
I place my hand on my heart when our flag is raised
When I see the red, white, and blue waving for you and me
I know I got to be, I got to be free
I know that we still have what it takes inside
Cause we still believe in God and we still have faith
So raise the flag it’s the start of bright new day
The stars and stripes long may you wave
Chorus
I got to be free
We're in the land of sweet liberty
I place my hand on my heart when our flag is raised
When I see the red, white, and blue waving for you and me
I know I got to be, I got to be free

@Art thank you for your Patriotism. If only there were more like you and your dad and the scarred old man. Nationalism is dead thanks to a certain tribe who's out to destroy not only America's sovereignty but the entire world's. Nice simple acoustic version.
But we shouldn't give up hope and faith in God that His army here on earth can turn it around,

I feel like the chorus should do a repeat on those first lines:
I got to be free (I got to be free)
I got to be free (I got to be free)
but I saw in your comment to Renee that someone else wrote the lyric, so that may not even be an option!
Certainly captures that patriotic feel.

@RainyDayMan , I really like your suggestion
About the chorus repeats, but this was 2008
Song we collaborated on.
I might run it through suno see what I get you know for fun.0 -
Heartfelt song and you can't ask for more than that.

@RainyDayMan , I do repeat
( I got to be free) in chorus as a second voice but I did not write it in the lyrics , oops !1 -
Hey Art , good little American song , patriotism went out the window on the invention of the Internet , Now we hear all this bullshit on current presidents . Bernie Sanders hates Trump and vice versa , Why don't they shut up and get to work . Freedom lands on what tax bracket your in and beach vacations
