Because They Stood

Verse 1

Before the morning breaks the sky,

Someone's standing through the night.

Boots on frozen ground, eyes on the flame,

Never asking for fortune or fame.

They carry burdens we may never know,

So hope can rise and children grow.

Every heartbeat of this land we love

Echoes with the strength they're made of.

Pre-Chorus

We lift our voices, proud and strong,

To every soul who carried on.

Your courage wrote the story still—

A nation's heart, a nation's will.

Chorus

Raise that flag into the sky,

Let it wave both low and high.

Freedom isn't free—we know the cost,

Built by heroes who refused to be lost.

Here's to every woman, every man,

Who stood the line and took the stand.

We'll live with purpose, we'll answer the call,

Forever grateful to those who gave their all.

Verse 2

From distant shores to hometown streets,

Duty marches on steadfast feet.

Families waiting, prayers held tight,

Holding onto hope through every fight.

They don't ask for endless praise,

Just a nation worthy of their days.

So let's build a future bold and true,

The kind they dreamed we'd see come through.

Pre-Chorus

We'll honor every sacrifice,

By choosing love above the strife.

United we will proudly say,

Your legacy still lights the way.

Chorus

Raise that flag into the sky,

Let it wave both low and high.

Freedom isn't free—we know the cost,

Built by heroes who refused to be lost.

Here's to every woman, every man,

Who stood the line and took the stand.

We'll live with purpose, we'll answer the call,

Forever grateful to those who gave their all.

Bridge

No matter where tomorrow leads,

We'll guard the promise, plant the seeds.

Side by side we'll carry on,

The torch they held before the dawn.

Their courage lives in every dream,

In every child who still believes.

As long as liberty remains,

We'll speak their names... we'll sing their names.

Final Chorus (Big Arena Anthem)

Raise that flag into the sky,

Hear a million voices rise!

Freedom's fire burns bright today,

Because brave hearts showed us the way.

To every guardian standing tall,

To every family who gave it all,

May our lives be worthy of the price,

Of every sacrifice.

Outro

We'll never forget...

We'll never let freedom fall.

United we stand—

Because they stood for us all.
