Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 There’s a folded flag on a mantle tonight And a porch light burnin’ through the night Boots by the door that won’t walk in A gold star hangin’ where a laugh had been He wore that red, white and blue with pride But freedom’s got a heavy side And every town from sea to sea Knows somebody who didn’t come back home free Pre-Chorus War leaves scars you can’t always see But it don’t break who we’re meant to be Chorus ’Cause it hurts us all when the cannons roar Every heart feels the thunder of war From the smallest farm to the city streets Every loss runs deep But we stand up tall when the smoke clears out Hold each other through the doubt We’ve paid the price, we know the cost And we don’t forget what we’ve lost It may test our faith down to the core — But we’re stronger than the fire of war Verse 2 Across the world another son Believes he’s fightin’ for what he’s from And somewhere mothers on both sides Pray the same prayers through tear-filled eyes Different flags in a different wind But pain don’t care where it begins And when the battle finally ends It’s ordinary folks who mend Pre-Chorus The brave may fight when duty calls But peace is built by us all Chorus ’Cause it hurts us all when the cannons roar Every home feels the weight of war Every tear that hits the ground Echoes the same sound But we stand for hope, we stand for peace We stand so someday wars may cease We honor the fallen, we love them more And that’s what makes us worth fightin’ for It may shake this land down to the core — But we’re stronger than the fire of war Bridge (Inspiring, American unity) We’re one nation under God Through every scar and every loss We don’t cheer for the pain or hate We carry the brave and we carry the weight And when freedom calls, we answer still But we pray for peace on every hill Final Chorus (Lift, big harmonies) Yeah it hurts us all when the cannons roar But that’s why we stand for somethin’ more For the kids who dream, for the ones who gave For the land they swore to save From the mountains high to the open shore We believe in something worth fighting for Not the war itself — but the peace it’s for And that’s what makes America strong at the core Outro (Soft, proud) We remember the cost We honor the brave And we pray for the day We don’t send another one away.
