[Verse 1] I put my hand on my heart Morning on the front porch step Kids on the curb with flags in the wind Neighbornames I never met We come from different roads Different prayers, different songs But when the river runs the same We all want to belong [Pre-Chorus] So lift it up Let it show Pride is strong But love must grow When the drums call out And the voices rise We stand taller If we open our eyes [Chorus] It's time to show it, now is the time ( now is the time ) Love is the bridge That brings us alive Rise Up, Patriots, now is the time ( now is the time ) One world, one flame One beat tonight [Verse 2] I saw a farmer wave at me Saw a nurse at the corner store Saw a kid with paint on both his hands Draw a peace sign on the door Not every banner says the same Not every heart beats clean But strength ain’t made to stand alone It’s built when we believe [Pre-Chorus] So lift it up Let it show Pride is strong But love must grow When the drums call out And the voices rise We stand taller If we open our eyes [Chorus] It's time to show it, now is the time ( now is the time ) Love is the bridge That brings us alive Rise Up, Patriots, now is the time ( now is the time ) One world, one flame One beat tonight [Bridge] Hands from east to west Hands from shore to shore If we guard each other's home We become something more Not just mine, not just yours Let the wall come down What we build with mercy Can hold this whole world now [Final Chorus] It's time to show it, now is the time ( Go For IT! Whoo! ) Love is the bridge That brings us alive Rise Up, Patriots, now is the time ( now is the time ) One world, one flame One beat tonight Rise Up, Patriots, now is the time ( now is the time ) Love is the flag We raise up high
