Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They point at our house on the hill
Laugh at the cracks in the paint
Say we’re loud
Say we’re crazy
Say their way sure ain’t ours
Raise their glass on our bad day
Talk big across that ocean bar
Till the flood hits their front porch
And they’re dialing up our stars
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the fire feels hotter
When it’s burning in your yard
Name they curse in the sunshine
Is the one they call in the dark
[Chorus]
Everybody talks tough ’bout the USA
Till the sky goes black
Till the ground gives way
When the walls cave in
And they’re praying for a spark
They come running to that flag
When it’s dark
When it’s dark
You talk your talk when the sun shines
But you call our name when it’s hard
’Cause we’re stars when it’s darkest
Yeah
We’re stars when it’s dark
[Verse 2]
They joke ’bout our boots and trucks
Call our faith a foolish thing
Say our songs are too simple
Say our hope’s a childish dream
But when sirens cut the city
And the air tastes just like war
It’s our kids in dusty camo
Standing guarding their front door
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the tune starts changing
When the wolves are at your gate
Same old mouth that was mocking
Says
“Brother
Please don’t be late”
[Chorus]
Everybody talks tough ’bout the USA
Till the sky goes black
Till the ground gives way
When the walls cave in
And they’re praying for a spark
They come running to that flag
When it’s dark
When it’s dark
You roll your eyes at our freedom
Then you beg that eagle’s heart
’Cause we’re stars when it’s darkest
Yeah
We’re stars when it’s dark
[Bridge]
We’re imperfect
We’re still bleeding
We got scars we don’t deny (oh yeah)
But when the helpless start to tremble
We’re the ones who still arrive
Red dirt on our boots
Red stripes in that cloth
Red blood for the calling
We show up
Whatever the cost
[Chorus]
Everybody talks tough ’bout the USA
Till the sky goes black
Till the ground gives way
When the seas rise up
And they’re swallowed by the shock
They come running to that flag
When they’re lost
When they’re lost
You can curse us in your comfort
But you reach for us at heart
’Cause we’re stars when it’s darkest
Yeah
We’re stars when it’s dark
We’re stars when it’s darkest
(Still shining)
We’re stars in the dark
