Temple Road Echoes

"HOME OF THE BRAVE (6-SECOND SALUTE)"

Verse 1 – The Dog

Started with a golden boy in the grass,

Flag bandana, red-white-blue sass.

You said "make him a Shepherd," teeth and pride,

Same field, same sky, same bark nationwide.

"BARK IF YOU LOVE AMERICA" — yeah, we do,

Four legs on the front line, star-spangled true.

Verse 2 – The Soldier

One lone silhouette against a dying sun,

Hand on his heart, the day almost done.

You said "not one, give me all six,"

Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines in the mix,

Coast Guard, Space Force, dress blues in a row,

HOME OF THE BRAVE in the afterglow.

Pre-Chorus – The Genie

Then the elevator doors slide, blue silk in the light,

A genie with a vintage mic, ready for a night.

You said "animate," so we let her sway,

Mirrors shimmer, cabaret between floors, USA.

Chorus

ANIMATE IT, bring the still to life,

Flag starts waving through the sunset light.

Zoom in slow while the bugle cries,

Taps for the fallen in the Texas sky.

Add the title, let the honor show:

"In Honor of Those Who Served" in white gold glow.

Verse 3 – The Build

2026 coming, two-fifty years strong,

We burned in the captions, we wrote the song.

4K landscape, keep it wide, no crop,

From Temple to the nation, never gonna stop.

You said "give me everything," so we laid it down,

Opening card, closing card, the whole damn town.

Bridge – The Cut

Then you said "speed it up, make it six,"

Heartbeat tempo, quick-cut flicks.

Kill the sound, let the pictures speak,

Silent salute, still strong, still peak.

No vertical, keep that prairie wide,

Landscape like freedom, with nothing to hide.

Final Chorus – All In

From a Shepherd's bark to a six-branch stand,

From a lone salute to a united band,

From a genie singing in an elevator shaft,

To a six-second tribute, our final craft.

We started with a picture, ended with a roar,

Rock and roll, red white, forever more.

HOME OF THE BRAVE,

BARK IF YOU LOVE IT,

SIX SECONDS SILENT,

STILL RISING ABOVE IT.
