Remember How
Verse 1
We grew up under Friday night lights
Front porch talks and county lines
Neighbors helping neighbors
Even when we didn’t see eye to eye
Back when a handshake meant something
And flags flew high on summer days
We knew this country wasn’t perfect
But we were proud anyway
Pre-Chorus
Somewhere in the noise
We lost something simple
Chorus
When did we forget how
To disagree and still sit down
Still reach across right now
And not just turn away
We’re living in a land
People still dream about
Where everybody’s got a voice
To work these differences out
We don’t have to be the same
And still love this country now
But somewhere along the way…
We forgot how
Verse 2
There’s a farmer waking up at sunrise
A doctor working through the night
A teacher praying she can reach one kid
A businessman trying to get it right
There’s people building dreams from nothing
And some born with a better start
But money don’t decide your value
And pride alone won’t heal a heart
We all see life through different windows
Different roads and different views
But this country’s always been at its best
When we leave a little room to listen
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, we’re all just people
Trying to be understood
Chorus
When did we forget how
To disagree and still sit down
Still reach across right now
And not just turn away
We’re living in a land
People still dream about
Where everybody’s got a voice
To work these differences out
We don’t have to be the same
And still love this country now
But somewhere along the way…
We forgot how
Bridge
What if we’re not here that long
And we spend it proving each other wrong
Drawing lines we won’t walk through
Instead of searching for the truth
Maybe the bravest thing we do
Is let a little pride fall through
And love this country enough
To heal what’s been broken too
’Cause this old flag still means something
To people everywhere
And we’re still blessed beyond measure
To wake up free right here
Final Chorus
We can still remember how
To disagree and still sit down
Still reach across right now
And not just turn away
It doesn’t have to be this hard
To lead with a little heart
And treat each other with respect
Even when we disagree
We don’t have to be the same
And still love this country now
It’s not too late…
To remember how
Outro
Yeah, maybe that’s the real freedom now…
