[Verse]
I gave my blood my soul my fight
In the fields where wrong meets right
A shadowed past a heavy load
Freedom’s cost is what I sowed
[Chorus]
I gave my life for a promised dream
Lost in the echoes of a silent scream
Liberty whispers but it never stays
The pursuit of happiness fades away
[Verse 2]
Buffalo soldiers they marched with pride
But history buried what we supplied
For a land that turned its back in time
We paid the price for a nation's climb
[Chorus]
I gave my life for a promised dream
Lost in the echoes of a silent scream
Liberty whispers but it never stays
The pursuit of happiness fades away
[Bridge]
Who will remember who will care
When the truth is heavy when the soul lays bare
A name forgotten a face erased
Yet my sacrifice can’t be replaced
[Chorus]
I gave my life for a promised dream
Lost in the echoes of a silent scream
Liberty whispers but it never stays
The pursuit of happiness fades away
