[Verse]
Not all heroes take to the skies
Some walk the ground with fire in their eyes
Carrying courage
A weight so steep
Through the dust
Through the dark
Where shadows creep
[Prechorus]
They hold the line
They stand so tall
No cape
No crown
Just answering the call
[Chorus]
Sacrifice
Stars and stripes
They light the way through endless nights
Brave hearts beat where freedom thrives
Cheers to you
For giving lives
[Verse 2]
A letter home
A tear unshed
A flag folded tight for the ones who've bled
The wind sings low where the heroes rest
Their stories carved on history's chest
[Prechorus]
They gave it all
They paid the price
A quiet strength
No need for ice
[Chorus]
Sacrifice
Stars and stripes
They light the way through endless nights
Brave hearts beat where freedom thrives
Cheers to you
For giving lives
