[Verse 1] (Duet)
Sunrise breaks on a silent town (We rise up)
Boots on the ground, no slowing down (Side by side)
Every heartbeat answers a call
Shoulders lifted, ready to stand tall
Pre-Chorus
Names remembered, faces in mind
Promises made and hope defined
Brothers and sisters, hand in hand
Holding the future, building this land
on for the ones who couldn't
Through fire and the flood, through the long night
We hold the line for love and freedom
Hearts of courage shining through the fight
Post-Chorus
Stand tall, stand strong, we're still here
Oh oh, oh oh, we're still here
[Verse 2] (Duet)
You tended wounds with steady hands (You stood your ground)
Guarded hope through the warning sound (Side by side)
We saw the worst, we gave our best
Bound by a promise that outlasts the rest
Pre-Chorus
These stories written on every scar
Testify to how brave we are
Faith beside us, lighting our way
Never forgotten those lost to yesterday
Chorus
We carry on for the ones who couldn't
Through fire and the flood, through the long night
We hold the line for love and freedom
Hearts of courage shining through the fight
Post-Chorus
Stand tall, stand strong, we're still here
Oh oh, oh oh, we're still here
[Bridge] (Duet with Backing Vocals)
Turn the page, a new sunrise ahead (Hold on now)
Every call answered, every tear we’ve shed (Don’t let go)
We’re bound together, through trials and grace
With steady hearts, we finish the race
Chorus
We carry on for the ones who couldn’t
Through fire and the flood, through the long night
We hold the line for love and freedom
Hearts of courage shining through the fight
Post-Chorus
Stand tall, stand strong, we’re still here
Oh oh, oh oh, we’re still here
[Outro] (Full Harmony)
For every name, for every prayer
The promise we made lingers in the air
Shoulder to shoulder through all these years
American survivors, drying these tears
