The same battle cry 🇺🇸🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

V5.5

Verse 1 Hard to be a rolling stone Headed off to the unknown When I was little, it felt like home It was the only thing I’d ever known “Where are you from?” they always ask What do you say when you’re raised like that? I’ve been everywhere, but home lives in me In scattered friends and memories Pre-Chorus Those are my home fires, they made my light I just don’t see them every night Chorus I’ve been a rambler, a runner, a tumbleweed A drifting dandelion born to leave I’ve been planted down, then pulled back up Every season or two, when we’d pack up I’ve been covered in the rain of hurt and pain I’ve been grown by that same old sun I’ve been a stranger most everywhere… And somehow felt I knew everyone Verse 2 I’ve been a wild one, where the wild things are Those are my people, my northern stars The home fires calling me through the flame They look at me—we’re the same They stand with their hands over their hearts Every time the anthem starts They wait and wait, and wait some more Hoping their parents come home from war Pre-Chorus They see me as I am, I don’t need to explain The many lives I’ve lived, we’ve lived the same Chorus I’ve been a rambler, a runner, a tumbleweed A drifting dandelion born to leave I’ve been planted down, then pulled back up Every season or two, when we’d pack up I’ve been covered in the rain of hurt and pain I’ve been grown by that same old sun I’ve been a stranger most everywhere… And somehow felt I knew everyone Bridge They know my story, they know my why We’ve all lived under that same goodbye Different roads, but the same battle cry Same movement underneath the same sky Final Chorus I’ve been a rambler, a runner, a tumbleweed A drifting dandelion, learned how to leave I’ve been planted down, then packed back up It all just helped to fill my cup Some of these home fires see their home in me And part of my home will always stay everywhere they’ll be Some of these home fires see their home in me And part of my home will always stay everywhere they’ll be
