Raise Our Voices

[Intro]
Boots in the dirt
Sun on the flag
Hand on my heart
I carry what they had
[Verse 1]
Granddad’s jacket on the back porch nail
Stories in the seams where the stitches pale
He said, “Stand up tall when the winds blow hard”
“Every bruise on this land is a battle scar”
[Pre-Chorus]
From the farms to the freight line, we don’t fade
Turn sweat into gold with the dues we’ve paid
Face down fear when the thunder talks
We move as one when the drumbeat walks
[Chorus]
We raise our voices, louder, higher
Like a field full of sparks catching one bright fire
This is our home, we won’t let go
Every step that we take, let the whole world know
We raise our voices
[Verse 2]
[low vocal register]
I came from a one-lane, rust-fade town
Turned doubt into drive, put faith in the ground
Mama at the table with the bills stacked high
Said, “We bend, we break, then we still get by”
Now I’m chest out, boots laced, ready to run
Every setback I had turned to push from the sun
You can hear that hope in the heel of my stride
When I walk, I walk with a million at my side
[Pre-Chorus]
From the hills to the high-rise steel, we climb
Every heartbeat here keeps perfect time
When the night gets thick and the odds feel wrong
We cut through the dark with a working song
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
Left, right
Left, right
Keep that line so tight
[crescendo]
If you’re tired, stand by me
If you’re scared, still stand free
Every voice like a drum in the chest, keep time
Every hand to the sky, let the brave ones shine
[Chorus]
