[Intro]
(Bright, sparkling synth plucks—like light dancing on water. Wide, open, and shimmering.)
Dust in the wind... turning to gold.
A spark in the dark, a story untold.
Just a Midwest soul watching the world spin round,
Ready to ignite when the sun goes down.
[Verse 1]
(Bring in a driving, pulsing synth bass. Keep the rhythm moving forward with high energy.)
Down by the river where the cool water flows,
Under the shadow where the cottonwood grows.
Chasing the horizon, chasing the sun,
Electric currents when the day is all done.
Catching a spark, watch the frequency fly,
Counting the stars in a wide-open sky.
(4x4 pop kick drum starts pumping—driving and energetic)
Headlights cutting through a two-lane road,
Windows rolled down, letting go of the load.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Massive snare roll build-up, rushing hi-hats, and a huge rising sweep)
We raise our hands when the Sunday bells chime,
Putting our faith in a rhythm divine.
Yeah, we live our lives by a different code,
Written right into the dust of a county road.
Hear the countdown start, see the colors ignite...
We're gonna light up the dark tonight!
[Chorus]
(THE DROP - MAX ENERGY. Huge melodic dubstep wall of sound, roaring supersaws, explosive pop dance beat)
And it makes me proud to be made in the USA!
Where the love of the people will clear the way.
Like a firework shooting straight into the sky,
We’re gonna let our colors fly!
Yeah, we fight for the home where the brave ones stay...
Proud to be made in the U...S....A!
[Verse 2]
(Drums drop out, replaced by a bright, rhythmic piano chords with a heavy sidechain pump effect)
Out in the storm when the autumn winds blow,
We hold onto secrets that the city don't know.
Neighbor helping neighbor when the sky turns gray,
Lifting each other at the end of the day.
No matter the distance, we carry the same flame [Sing lower / background vocal]
(Carved in the earth where we write our name.)
[Bridge]
(Cinematic strings blend with a massive, warm Reese bass. Pure emotional lift, building up high)
When the world gets loud and the wars begin,
We rise from the ashes, we stand to win.
We celebrate the warriors who guard the night,
Shining a beacon of everlasting light.
Shoot across the sky, let 'em see what you're worth...
The brightest light on the face of the earth!
[Pre-Drop Cut]
(DEAD SILENCE FOR 1 SECOND. Glitch/vocoder vocal effect)
"Made in the... U... S... A!"
[The Drop]
(Color bass chaos. Chopped up, stuttery, high-pitched vocal chops acting as the lead melody, heavy melodic dubstep growls, driving bassline)
M-M-Made in the U...S...A—U-S-A—Proud to be made——in the U..S..A!
[Outro]
(Fade back down to the bright, sparkling synth plucks from the intro, with the sound of distant fireworks popping)
Putting our faith in God...
Watching the storm pass by...
Never coming down.
Proud to be made...
In the USA.
