I walk along a thousand rows of white crosses.
Reading the names and dates from old.
Some newly painted, others chipped, so many losses.
Do we take for granted what they've done.
When did we lose the honor for the ones who gave their lives.
Took the blow so you and I could dream and learn to compromise.
Stand.
Stand.
Even if you don't fully understand.
Stand for the nation's song, the uniforms, one nation under God.
Standing wasn't free, so come and stand with me.
Talk of the news with all the jersey's on the TV.
Taking a knee but not to pray.
Soldiers fought for unity yet we refuse to play on the same team.
Stand for respect don't sit for fame.
When did we gain attention for the anger and the blame.
When others sacrificed their lives so you could stay in the game.
Stand.
Stand.
Even if you don't fully understand.
Stand for the flag we raise, our freedoms,
And our loved ones in their graves.
Standing wasn't free, so come and stand with...
Me, the brave, the strong survivors,
The old, the young, the wounded, the fighters.
Stand for love and stand for might.
Stand for all who gave up the fight.
We won the right to STAND.
Stand for the nation's song, the uniforms, one nation under God.
Standing wasn't free, so come and stand with me.
Oh say can you see,
From sea to shining sea
