[Verse]
Mama packed my bag at the break of dawn,
Her hands were shaking, but she stayed strong.
Daddy said, "Son, don’t forget who you are,"
As the screen door slammed, I walked to the car.
The flag on my shoulder, it felt so right,
Heading overseas to fight the good fight.
[Chorus]
I wear the Stars and Stripes on my sleeve,
For the land I love and the dreams we believe.
Every mile away, I carry this pride,
With freedom's fire burning deep inside.
Through the darkest nights, through the fiercest fight,
I stand tall for the Stars and Stripes.
[Verse 2]
Boots hit the ground in a foreign sand,
A rifle in my arms, my brothers at hand.
The sky feels heavy, but my heart’s alive,
For every step I take, our flag will survive.
Letters from home keep my spirit near,
Each word a reminder of why I’m here.
[Prechorus]
It’s not just a cloth, not just a name,
It’s blood and tears, it’s history’s flame.
[Chorus]
I wear the Stars and Stripes on my sleeve,
For the land I love and the dreams we believe.
Every mile away, I carry this pride,
With freedom's fire burning deep inside.
Through the darkest nights, through the fiercest fight,
I stand tall for the Stars and Stripes.
[Bridge]
When the bugles call and the echoes fade,
I’ll hold my head high for the price we’ve paid.
From the rolling plains to the ocean's tide,
This flag unites us, it’s where we reside.
