Verse 1 There’s a flag flying high on a courthouse square Caught in the wind like it’s saying a prayer For every young soldier who answered the call And every hero who gave their all From distant shores to these hometown streets Freedom’s been carried on tired, worn feet Bought with courage and paid in blood By ordinary people who stood when they could Chorus We’re the land of the free because of the brave Because somebody stood when freedom needed saved Through every battle and every life they gave Old Glory still waves because of the brave And when that flag rises high in the sky It’s a reminder that freedom comes with a price All gave some, and some gave all they had to give So this nation could live Verse 2 There’s names carved deep into marble stone Mothers and fathers who never came home And every folded flag handed through tears Carries the weight of those difficult years Now time keeps moving and generations change But the truth behind freedom remains the same, for It wasn’t handed down, it was fought and earned By men and women who walked through war Pre-Chorus Sometimes it feels like we’ve forgotten why That flag still flies high in the sky Chorus We’re the land of the free because of the brave Because somebody stood when freedom needed saved Through every battle and every life gave Old Glory still waves because of the brave And when that flag rises high in the sky It’s a reminder that freedom comes with a price All gave some, and some gave all they had to give So this nation could live Bridge If those white crosses could somehow speak They’d tell us freedom isn’t guaranteed It’s a gift that’s protected by sacrifice and faith And every generation has a duty to keep it safe Final Chorus We’re still the land of the free because of the brave Because somebody stood and refused to walk away Through every storm we’ve faced and every debt unpaid Old Glory still waves because of the brave And long after we’re gone, may our children say They remembered the ones who paved the way The flag still stands, and America remains Because of the brave Outro The land of the free… Because of the brave…
