[Verse 1] Boots on the wind I don’t back down Red White Gold I own this ground Every scar is a vow I keep I stand tall so the small can sleep [Pre-Chorus] I heard a child ask “Who protects the brave?” So I carved my answer Right into the wave [Chorus] I’m the star in the storm The stripe in the sky Say the word and I’ll rise I was born to defy For the ones who can’t stand I’ll carry the fight I’m the promise you shout in the dark of the night I’m Star and Stripe (Star and Stripe) [Verse 2] Fear in my chest I drag it along Turn it to steel Turn steel into song Heroes fall But the banner stays So I burn my name on the edge of fate [Pre-Chorus] Write the rules in the roar of the blast Every breath I’m taking Echoes what will last [Chorus] I’m the star in the storm The stripe in the sky Say the word and I’ll rise I was born to defy For the ones who can’t stand I’ll carry the fight I’m the promise you shout in the dark of the night I’m Star and Stripe (hey, Star and Stripe) [Bridge] If I go down Let the world remember Courage is a law you speak forever When you’re alone and your hope runs dry Scream my name and punch the sky [Chorus] I’m the star in the storm The stripe in the sky Say the word and I’ll rise I was born to defy For the hearts that still shake I’ll blaze them a light I’m the oath that refuses to lay down and die I’m Star and Stripe (Star and Stripe) I’m Star and Stripe
