[Intro] Hoist that flag up high For the red, white, blue in the sky (hey!) Crew on deck, we ride Proud hearts side by side [Chorus] Heave ho, for America, row From the heartland fields to the coasts we know Strong as steel in a storm-tossed sea Land of the brave, that’s home to me Heave ho, for the freedom we share Raise your voice, let the whole world stare Wave that banner so wide, so free America’s the ship that carries me (hey!) [Verse 1] From a small-town pier to the harbor glare Stories of grit in the salted air Every scar on the hull says “we pulled through” Every wave we faced, yeah, we broke right through We stand as one when the tides turn rough Shake off fear when the winds get tough Got a captain’s will in a sailor’s chest When the world looks on, we give our best [Chorus] Heave ho, for America, row From the heartland fields to the coasts we know Strong as steel in a storm-tossed sea Land of the brave, that’s home to me Heave ho, for the freedom we share Raise your voice, let the whole world stare Wave that banner so wide, so free America’s the ship that carries me (oh!) [Verse 2] On the prow we stand, eyes on the line Guarding dreams that are yours and mine Every voice on deck has a right to sing From the quiet dock to the captain’s ring When the nations call in the dead of night We’re the lantern burning, a guiding light Not a perfect crew, but we face the gale With a steady hand on the weathered rail [Bridge] So here’s to the oaths and the hearts that keep Watching over oceans deep Here’s to the hope we refuse to drown We go down, we rise back up, renown (hey!) [Chorus] Heave ho, for America, row From the heartland fields to the coasts we know Strong as steel in a storm-tossed sea Land of the brave, that’s home to me Heave ho, for the freedom we share Raise your voice, let the whole world stare Wave that banner so wide, so free America’s the ship that carries me [Outro] Hoist that flag up high For the red, white, blue in the sky One last cheer on the rolling foam America my heart, my home (hey!)

rap, Sea shanty-rap hybrid: stomping deck-floor percussion, gang-vocal chorus, and gruff male vocals trading with agile rap verses. Accordion stabs and fiddle riffs ride a swung drum groove; 808-style low end thumps beneath stomps and claps. Choruses explode with call-and-response crew chants, verses tighten into storytelling bars. Big, rowdy tavern energy that still hits like a modern anthem., shanty, world
