Verse 1
There’s a flag flyin’ high over main street brick
Sun-faded red, white, and blue still sticks
To the side of a diner, a church, a school
Hard-earned pride and old-school rules
From coal dust hands to a corner office tie
We all wake up wantin’ the same good life
Different roads, but they all lead
To a place where we’re finally free
Pre-Chorus
We’ve been knocked down, bent but unbroken
Still believin’ in the words we’ve spoken
Chorus
This is the land of the free, home of the brave
Built by the backs of folks who stayed
When the storms roll in and the nights get long
We don’t stand divided, we stand strong
One flag, one heart, one common ground
We’re louder together than the noise around
They can doubt us all they want to start
But this country beats with one heart
Verse 2
Steel mill whistles and Friday night lights
Farm kids prayin’ for rain at night
City streets hum with a restless dream
Same hope runnin’ through you and me
Ain’t about left or right or wrong
It’s about holdin’ on when the goin’s gone
We’ve seen impossible turn to true
Every time we pull together and push through
Chorus
This is the land of the free, home of the brave
Built by the backs of folks who stayed
When the storms roll in and the nights get long
We don’t stand divided, we stand strong
One flag, one heart, one common ground
We’re louder together than the noise around
They can doubt us all they want to start
But this country beats with one heart
Bridge (Low, Gritty)
They say we’re too far gone, too broke, too torn
But they forgot how this land was born
By men and women who didn’t quit
Who stared down odds and outworked ’em
Chorus (Big, Final)
This is the land of the free, home of the brave
Where hope still matters and words still save
If we lock arms instead of point blame
We can move mountains, we can make change
One flag, one heart, from coast to coast
When it matters most, we rise the most
No matter the scars, no matter the part
This country beats with one heart
Outro
Yeah, we don’t have to agree to understand
Just gotta remember this is our land
One flag flyin’ from the start
One nation standin’…
With one heart
