[Verse 1 – steady, country-rock build] United we stand, divided we fall, All for the flag, for freedom, for all. Call me a fool, or call me brave, But I was born to live this way. Raise up your hands, defend what’s right, Face down the dark, stand in the light. I may be scarred, but I know my ground, My heart beats strong for this hometown. [Chorus – big, emotional, anthem] I salute our troops, I give them my hand, We’ve buried some souls to build this land. But the ones still here stay in our hearts, And even when the night grows dark… (silence, beat drop) This Country’s Ours. [Verse 2 – softer, reflective] Remember your brothers, the ones you knew, How they stood tall, how they pulled through. Remember the moments, the prayers, the scars, The mamas at home with broken hearts. I still hear his voice sayin’ “I’ll be fine,” Still see him marchin’ in that line. He left with shoulders proud and wide, Ready to live… to fight… to die. [Bridge – quiet, spoken/sung, emotional drop] Still hard not to cry… wish I’d said goodbye. But the fight lives on, so I lift my song… And I’ll stand strong. [Chorus – repeat, even bigger] I salute our troops, I give them my hand, We’ve buried some souls to build this land. But the ones still here stay in our hearts, And even when the night grows dark… (silence, teary pause) This Country’s Ours. [Outro – quiet, fading] Yeah… This Country is ours.
