Verse 1
Early morning sunlight, painting hope on the ground
Grandpa’s stories linger, small towns all around
From Ellis Island footsteps to a red dirt road
Dreams handed down in every pledge we’ve known
Pre-Chorus
Fireflies on porches, sweet voices hum along
We are woven together, every right and every wrong
Chorus
Raise up our voices, let the free winds run
One nation under God, together as one
From sea to shining fields, from mountain high to dawn
We hold on to the story, we keep holding on
Post-Chorus
Oh, we keep holding on
Oh, we keep holding on
Verse 2
I see your hand in mine, by the old courthouse square
Your laugh cracks open sunlight, love everywhere
We built more than a home, we built something true
In the heart of the heartland, me and you
Pre-Chorus
We came from many, found hope in the same song
Under wide open heavens, where everyone belongs
Chorus
Raise up our voices, let the free winds run
One nation under God, together as one
From sea to shining fields, from mountain high to dawn
We hold on to the story, we keep holding on
Post-Chorus
Oh, we keep holding on
Oh, we keep holding on
Bridge
Let old glory fly in the summer’s gold light
Generations gather where dreams took flight
We carry old hopes and new hearts side by side
Writing tomorrow, you and I
Chorus
Raise up our voices, let the free winds run
One nation under God, together as one
From sea to shining fields, from mountain high to dawn
We hold on to the story, we keep holding on
Post-Chorus
Oh, we keep holding on
Oh, we keep holding on
Outro
Hand over heart, under endless blue sky
Love for our country burning bright in our eyes
The land that we cherish, as long as rivers run
One story, one family, forever as one
