Lyrics

Verse 1

Down the river where the current ran gold

Daddy's radio crackling through the pines

Saw the rockets climb on a dusty TV screen

Felt the future humming down the lines

We built the highways with our bare-knuckle hands

Sang our souls out on the open road

Every mile a memory stitched in steel and sand

Every chord a story being told

Pre-Chorus

Oh the glory days they come and go

But the fire underneath the ash still glows

Chorus

We'll make a better future with sound

Strike the anvil let the echoes ring

From the harbor to the heartland down

Sound will carry everything

Verse 2

Neon flickers on the corner store glass

Grandma's hymns still floating through the hall

Saw the factories shutter felt the years go past

But the rhythm never lost its call

I've got my father's guitar and his crooked grin

And a head full of dreams they can't erase

Turning every broken thing to a song again

Putting soul back in this sacred place

Pre-Chorus

Oh the glory days they come and go

But the fire underneath the ash still glows

Chorus

We'll make a better future with sound

Strike the anvil let the echoes ring

From the harbor to the heartland down

Sound will carry everything

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Maybe we stumbled

Maybe we strayed

Maybe we buried

Treasures we made

But you can't keep a heartbeat

You can't kill a song

Long as one voice carries on

Chorus

We'll make a better future with sound

Strike the anvil let the echoes ring

From the harbor to the heartland down

Sound will carry everything

Outro

Let it ring

Let it ring

Sound will carry everything
