On Freedom's Shore (Jamie MacBlues)

For 6 brave young men, enough said, NO!!!!! Freedom's Shore Jamie MacBlues ). Words below:1.Your deaths won't be in vain, boys, today I cried when hear...Freedom’s Shore (James Stevenson) aka Jamie MacBlues1.Your deaths won’t be in vain, boys, today I cried when heard six moreYou’’ll never be just a number, but you’ve been told that much beforeThe people that your fighting, have only dark there in their mindsBut we’ll remember you as smilin’, so tough and yet so kindChorusThere’s six mothers’ hearts are bleedin’ , and there’s six knocks upon six doorsYou gave your life for freedom, now you walk on freedom’s shore2. From Glasgow down to London, and all places in betweenFrom Texas to the East Coast, and all towns that go unseenTo every voice that teaches, each note of freedom’s songTo every heart that values, the right now from the wrongChorusThere’s six mothers’ hearts are bleedin’ , and there’s six knocks upon six doorsYou gave your life for freedom, now you walk on freedom’s shore3. To value now our way of life, as if it were a childTo nurture and protect it, from madmen running wildAnd every time I watch the news, my heart prepares to bleedFor those young men who die for us, so people please take heedChorusThere’s six mothers’ hearts are bleedin’ , and there’s six knocks upon six doorsYou gave your life for freedom, now you walk on freedom’s shore

Thanks, Sammy. Lyric came first. Just glad I was able ta come up with a tune to fit words, and glad that you, and others, found lyrcic/song "appropiate. We say things as best we can, and can only hope we get it right.

BTW, If anyone wants chords, let me know

Fabulous Jamie, well done mate. The chorus especially is very touching and the rest of the lyrics are just great too. Really enjoyed it, well done. Good luck
