Verse 1
Ocean spray and heavy timber
Long before the flags were sewn
Silent shadows in the canyon
Claiming land to call our own
Tending maze and winter wheat
Natives offered hands so steady
Making life from rocky earth
When the storm was getting ready
Pre-Chorus
Ancient trees and open plains
Writing names in river silt
Finding strength through every winter
Seeing how the dream was built
Chorus
We are America
A legacy of scars and song
forged in fire through the nights
We grew two hundred fifty years strong
Red white and blue
The colors that we carry through
from the first step on the shore
To the heavy slamming of the door
Two hundred fifty strong
Verse 2
Through the smoke of revolutions
Musket balls and bitter pride
Lines are drawn across the dirt
with no place for us to hide
Blight may fall upon the grain
yet the healing finds a way
Banding together for the light
at the breaking of the day
Pre-Chorus
Common dirt and golden veins
running through the mountain passes
Holding on to what is real
In the mirrors and the glasses
Chorus
We are America
A legacy of scars and song
Forged in fire through the nights
We grew two hundred fifty years strong
Red white and blue
The colors that we carry through
From the first step on the shore
To the heavy slamming of the door
Two hundred fifty strong
Bridge
Pilgrims walking for a purpose
Hand in hand with local tribes
Thick and thin we keep on moving
another two hundred and fifty years
We are America.
Chorus
We are America
A legacy of scars and song
Forged in fire through the nights
We grew two hundred fifty years strong
Red white and blue
The colors that we carry through
From the first step on the shore
To the heavy slamming of the door
Two hundred fifty years
