Title: “Stars Still Burn” Hook Red, white, blue in the dirt on my boots Small town choir with a big city truth We fight, we fall, but we don’t stay buried Stars still burn when the sky gets scary Hands up high if you came from nothing Same old dream but we turned it to something From the backroad bar to the avenue lights We’re still one flame in a million fights Verse 1 Yeah I grew up where the flag hits the wind hard Front porch talk going deeper than a bar card Granddad saying freedom ain’t free, boy Every single scar on this land got a story Concrete, cornfields, shipyards, rigs Different last names but we all that kid Trying to make rent, trying to break cycles Trying to stand tall when the world goes tribal They divide us by a screen and a headline But the real world’s a handshake at game time You break bread, you realize quick Most people just want peace and a paycheck Pre-Hook Yeah the loudest voices love to pull apart But the quiet ones are working with heart Hook Red, white, blue in the dirt on my boots Small town choir with a big city truth We fight, we fall, but we don’t stay buried Stars still burn when the sky gets scary Hands up high if you came from nothing Same old dream but we turned it to something From the backroad bar to the avenue lights We’re still one flame in a million fights Verse 2 Single mom shift change, sunrise grind Truck stop coffee and a tired spine Rooftop workers, late night nurses Whole damn country running on purpose Yeah we argue loud, yeah we get it wrong But the roots run deeper than a trending song Storm rolls in, watch the neighbors appear Different signs in the yard but they’re bringing you beer That’s America too, not the shouting online It’s the stranger pulling over when you got a flat tire Bridge We’re dust and diamonds Rust and lightning Broken roads still lead to rising You and me might see it different But this land only works if we listen Final Hook (bigger) Red, white, blue with the fire in our chest Hard headed hearts in the land we protect We bend, we bruise, but we don’t break easy Freedom runs wild and a little bit messy Hands up high if you still believe In a beat up dream that refuses to leave From the backroad bar to the city skyline One nation beating at the same time Outro Yeah the stars still burn… Even when the night gets loud.

Stand Together, America
