Lyrics

Freedom leads the way
Verse 1
I’ve seen sun rise over corn fields,
Boots in the red dirt, heart on my sleeve,
Worn-out dog tags and a faded old flag,
Stories in scars only I believe.
Momma’s prayers and pictures from home,
Kept me strong when the nights got cold,
A brother’s hand, a stranger’s smile,
Remind me what I’m fighting for.
Prechorus
We all bleed the same,
No matter where we’re from,
When the world gets heavy,
We don’t come undone.
Chorus
Here’s to the ones who serve,
To the dreamers and the brave,
To standing side by side,
No matter what they say.
Raise your voice, let freedom ring,
We’re stronger when we stand as one,
Living free, loving proud,
We find our strength in love, not hate.
Freedom leads the way
Verse 2
I’ve walked through fire, I’ve tasted loss,
But I’ve seen hope in a stranger’s eyes,
From city lights to backroad towns,
We’re all reaching for the same sunrise.
Old wounds heal, new days come,
We write our story line by line,
Every color, every creed,
We’re woven in the same design.
Prechorus
We all bleed the same,
No matter where we’re from,
When the world gets heavy,
We don’t come undone.
Chorus
Here’s to the ones who serve,
To the dreamers and the brave,
To standing side by side,
No matter what they say.
Raise your voice, let freedom ring,
We’re stronger when we stand as one,
Living free, loving proud,
We find our strength in love, not hate.
Freedom leads the way
Instrumental (8 measures)
Bridge
When the darkness tries to break us,
And the lines are drawn too deep,
I’ll reach across and take your hand,
‘Cause unity’s what sets us free.
We’re more than just a headline,
We’re more than black or white,
We’re the promise in the sunrise,
We’re the fire in the fight.
Chorus
Here’s to the ones who serve,
To the dreamers and the brave,
To standing side by side,
No matter what they say.
Raise your voice, let freedom ring,
We’re stronger when we stand as one,
Living free, loving proud,
We find our strength in love, not hate.
Outro
Yeah, living free, loving proud,
We find our strength in love, not hate.
Hand in hand, we’re one nation,
Freedom leads the way
Under the same wide-open sky.
