Before the dawn, they kissed goodbye,

With hope and courage in their eyes.

Leaving home, leaving all they knew,

To stand for red, white, and blue.

Some came back with silent scars,

Some still dream beneath the stars.

Every step they chose to take

Was for the freedoms we embrace.

Chorus

Because they stood, we still stand free.

Because they served, we dream peacefully.

Every flag that waves on high,

Carries stories, tears, and pride.

They gave their strength, they gave their all,

Answering duty’s solemn call.

We’ll never forget what they’ve been through—

America stands because they do.

Verse 2

Their families carried heavy loads,

Waiting through uncertain roads.

Letters, prayers, and sleepless nights,

Holding on with all their might.

Not every hero wears a crown,

Some simply never let us down.

Through sacrifice both great and small,

They answered when the nation called.

Bridge

Freedom isn’t free, they say,

It was earned in countless ways.

By hearts that chose to serve with pride,

Standing side by side.

May we live in such a way

To honor them each passing day,

With grateful hearts and hands held high,

Beneath our shared and hopeful sky.

Final Chorus

Because they stood, we still stand free.

Because they served, we live our dreams.

May we never take for granted

The seeds of hope that they have planted.

For every soldier, near or far,

You are our nation’s guiding star.

With grateful hearts, our voices say,

“Thank you,” every single day.

Outro

When the anthem fills the air,

May we remember who’s been there.

For every freedom that we know…

Was guarded by the brave who chose to go.
