The World Needs Pioneers Today
BY PRESIDENT THOMAS S. MONSON
JULY 2013, ENSIGN
Liberty is the value of individuals to have agency (control over their own actions).
We forget how the Greeks and Romans prevailed magnificently in a barbaric world and how that triumph ended—how a slackness and softness finally overcame them to their ruin. In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security and a comfortable life; and they lost all—comfort and security and freedom.

He who sacrifices freedom for security will soon have neither.- Ben Franklin
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. |
Verse 1] Without freedom How can one feel safe? Act with wisdom Or become a slave Noah packed up Though others jeered Building was tough But freedom neared [Chorus] Without freedom What is security? Without freedom Where is dignity? Without liberty I can't feel whole Without faith I lose my soul (Without freedom) [Verse 2] The pioneers Left the known behind Despite the tears They'd freedom to find They walked on dust With hope in view One hard road And a future new [Pre-Chorus] What is security And a comfortable life If the soul is caged And the heart pays the price? [Chorus] Without freedom What is security? Without freedom Where is dignity? Without liberty I can't feel whole Without faith I lose my soul (Without freedom) [Bridge] So I'll keep going When the night comes down With open hands And a steady ground No fear can own me No chain can stay When truth is calling I will find my way [Chorus] Without freedom What is security? Without freedom Where is dignity? Without liberty I can't feel whole Without faith I lose my soul (Without freedom)
