"This Is Why" lyrics

Rock Hearts & Rhonda Vincent Lyrics

"This Is Why"

Three words above the wall with many pictures
Some in color, some in black and white
Faces of our nation's sons and daughters
The sign simply reads, "This is why"

You can feel the sense of pride in every image
Uniforms from air, land, and sea
There's young and old and every creed and color
Photographs of why we're living free

Why can I do what I do?
Why can I say what I say?
Some made the sacrifice
Some paid the awful price
Or freedom with their lives
And this is why

All of them believed in God and country
Some have their names etched on the wall
So many nameless heroes not remembered at all
They are the reason I can sing this song

Why can I go where I go?
And why can I pray what I pray?
Many made the sacrifice
Some paid the awful price
For freedom with their lives
And this is why

Many made the sacrifice
Some paid the awful price
For freedom with their lives
And this is why
