[Verse 1] Our strong Our brave Our protectors The ones who carry all our freedoms on their shoulders Trading time at home For sand and stone and orders You stand the line So we can stand together Our proud Our few Our red Our white Our blue Our service members We believe in you [Chorus] We thank you You are forever in our thoughts and in our prayers Come home safe Every mile Every night We know you’re there Freedom feels so light for us ’Cause you hold all the weight we cannot see We thank you [Verse 2] Boot prints On dust Letters folded in a dresser Photographs taped up in steel and painted shelter Sunrise on your face While the world back home is sleeping You carry all our fears So our children carry dreaming [Chorus] We thank you You are forever in our thoughts and in our prayers Come home safe Every mile Every night We know you’re there Freedom feels so light for us ’Cause you hold all the weight we cannot see We thank you [Bridge] If the road feels long If the night feels longer Hear a quiet chorus calling you Every porch light on Every heart grows stronger Til the day the sky turns welcome-home blue (oh yeah) [Chorus] We thank you You are forever in our thoughts and in our prayers Come home safe Every mile Every night We know you’re there Freedom feels so light for us ’Cause you hold all the weight we cannot see We thank you We thank you
