Home of the Free and the Brave

Home of the Free and the Brave

[Verse 1]

Cornfield morning, City sky at night, Different roads,                                                                         

 Same heartbeat, Under red and blue and white  

 Hands still working On a promise old and new,                                                                                

 Trying to make a place Big enough for me and you

[Chorus]

This is our song, We rise, We sing, Home of the free and the brave,                                              

Not the crown of any king                                                                                                                                

Built out of love Not chains or fear                                                                                                            

Every voice, Every dream, Belongs right here                                                                                             

We fall, We fight, We stand again                                                                                                               

From the dust, From the dark, We choose the light instead of pain                                          

Home of the free and the brave, we’ll be For the world to see

[Verse 2]

Names on marble, Stories in the ground,                                                                                                   

Mothers praying softly, For a safer kind of sound                                                                         

Marching footsteps, Fists unclenched in peace                                                                                     

Every time we open hearts, Another war can cease

[Chorus]

This is our song, We rise, We sing, Home of the free and the brave,                                              

Not the crown of any king                                                                                                                                   

Built out of love Not chains or fear                                                                                                              

Every voice, Every dream, Belongs right here                                                                                             

We fall, We fight, We stand again                                                                                                                

From the dust, From the dark, We choose the light instead of pain                                          

Home of the free and the brave, we’ll be For the world to see

 [Bridge]

Let the hungry find a table, Let the weary find a bed,                                                                            

Let the child who feels forgotten, Hear a hopeful word instead                                                       

We are more than flags and borders, We are hands across the sea                                          

When we live the truth we’re singing, We can help the world believe

 [Chorus]

This is our song, We rise, We sing, Home of the free and the brave,                                              

Not the crown of any king                                                                                                                                   

Built out of love Not chains or fear                                                                                                              

Every voice, Every dream, Belongs right here                                                                                             

We fall, We fight, We stand again                                                                                                                

From the dust, From the dark, We choose the light instead of pain                                          

Home of the free and the brave, we’ll be For the world to see
