Verse 1]
Sunrise bleeding gold on a small-town street
Flags in the wind like a heartbeat
Front porch prayers, names carved in stone
Freedom ain’t free, yeah we all been shown
Mama’s holding letters, edges worn thin
Daddy taught his boy where courage begins
From city lights to fields of grain
Different lives, same blood in our veins
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t always agree, we don’t always see eye to eye
But when that anthem plays, we’re standing side by side
[Chorus]
So raise a glass to the brave tonight
To the ones who serve, who fight the fight
To the ones who did, and the ones who will
Hearts of fire and iron will
I’ll stand for the United States military, strong and true
And I apologize to those who won’t stand too
Thank you for your sacrifices, your family’s pain
My beautiful, beloved country—we carry your name
⸻
[Verse 2]
Kids running wild under Friday lights
Dreaming bigger than their small-town nights
From deserts far to oceans wide
Someone’s always standing guard outside
Boots on the ground, or watching the sky
Holding the line while the years go by
Not for the glory, not for the fame
But for the flag and the family name
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah we argue loud, yeah we fall apart sometimes
But freedom lets us speak our minds
[Chorus]
So raise a glass to the brave tonight
To the ones who serve, who fight the fight
To the ones who did, and the ones who will
Hearts of fire and iron will
I’ll stand for the United States military, strong and true
And I apologize to those who won’t stand too
Thank you for your sacrifices, your family’s pain
My beautiful, beloved country—we carry your name

[Rap Verse] 🎤🔥
Yeah
Stars on the flag, yeah they shine for a reason
Every stripe got a story, every loss got a season
From the mud to the sand, yeah they stand in the heat
While we argue online, they got boots in the street
Salute to the moms who sleep alone at night
To the kids saying prayers, “bring my hero home alright”
To the ones who came back, but they’re not the same
And the ones who never made it, yeah we say your name
This ain’t politics, this is blood, this is pride
This is hands on a casket with a flag draped wide
So if I raise my voice, yeah it’s love, not hate
For the red, white, blue—yeah the United States
⸻
[Bridge]
To the fallen, we remember
Through the storms, through December
Every tear, every name
We will never be the same
⸻
[Final Chorus]
So raise a glass to the brave tonight
To the ones who serve, who fight the fight
To the ones who did, and the ones who will
Hearts of fire and iron will
I’ll stand for the United States military, strong and true
And I apologize to those who won’t stand too
Thank you for your sacrifices, your family’s pain
My beautiful, beloved country—we carry your name
