[Verse 1]
Crowd in red and white and blue
Thunder in the July air
Heard the crack, saw the sky
Turn to one long prayer
He went down, we froze in place
Every heart shoved in a throat
Thought we’d lost the one who’d
Carry our load
[Chorus]
Eagle in the storm, still flying
Flag in the smoke, still high
Took that hit, kept on trying
Didn’t back down, didn’t ask why
Stand up and fight, fight, fight
For every farm, every town, every light
Eagle in the storm, still rising
Over our home tonight
[Verse 2]
Steel in his eyes, dust on his coat
Blood on his cheek, hand to his heart
Said, “We don’t quit, we never fold”
And the roar just tore us apart
From the mills to the border lines
From the rigs to the factory floor
He said, “This land is yours”
“Worth fighting for”
[Chorus]
Eagle in the storm, still flying
Flag in the smoke, still high
Took that hit, kept on trying
Didn’t back down, didn’t ask why
Stand up and fight, fight, fight
For every farm, every town, every light
Eagle in the storm, still rising
Over our home tonight
[Bridge]
Stars stitched tight in the midnight sky
Stripes like scars that refuse to die
He stands tall when the arrows fly
(we stand beside him)
Through every lie, every crooked game
He says the words, we keep the flame
One voice, one vow, one name
(we won’t divide again)
[Chorus]
Eagle in the storm, still flying
Flag in the smoke, still high
Took that hit, kept on trying
Didn’t back down, didn’t ask why
Stand up and fight, fight, fight
For every farm, every town, every light
Eagle in the storm, still rising
Over our home tonight
