Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Find The Cost Of Freedom (Written By Stephen Stills)
Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground.
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down.
Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground.
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down.
This song is often associated with the loss of life during the Vietnam war and concluded CSNY concerts during the "Stop the War" protest era of the early 70's. Years later, CSN reprised the song in it's fuller historical Civil War context (Stills, born in Dallas but raised a Southerner maintains strong Southern roots) with the addition of the poem "Daylight Again" which precedes "Find The Cost Of Freedom" and blends both into a sad commentary on the simultaneous uselessness and necessity of war:
Daylight again
Following me to bed
I think about a hundred years ago
How my father's bled
I think I see a valley
Covered with bones in blue
All the brave soldiers that cannot get older
Been asking after you
Hear the past a' calling
From Armageddon's side
When everyone's talking and no one is listening
How can we decide
Do we find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down
Written By Stephen Stills
