"AMERICAN STRONG"
WRITTEN BY: ERIC DURRANCE
NOW AIN’T IT ALWAYS SOMETHING EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND
JUST WHEN YOU START TO GET AHEAD LIFE STARTS TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
THANK GOD IN THE USA WE’RE ALL BORN FIGHTERS
WHAT DON’T KILLS US MAKES US STRONGER AND THEY CALL US SURVIVORS
WE HIT WALLS THAT LOOK TOO HIGH TO CLIMB
WE GET LOST SEARCHIN’ FOR A SIGN
WE STAND NEXT TO THE FIRE
RAISE THAT FLAG UP A LITTLE HIGHER
PUT OUR FAITH IN SOMETHING WE CAN’T SEE
WITH THE HEART OF A SOLDIER WE PRESS ON…AMERICAN STRONG
NOW WE’VE HAD TO SACRIFICE IT ALL TO GET TO WHERE WE’RE AT
YEAH ALL THE NAMES UPON THAT WALL IT’S PROOF OF THAT
THERE’S A FLAG OUT ON MY FRONT PORCH WAVIN’ IN THE WIND
THAT SAYS YEAH WE’VE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND PROUDLY GO BACK THERE AGAIN
WE HIT WALLS THAT LOOK TOO HIGH TO CLIMB
WE GET LOST SEARCHIN’ FOR A SIGN
WE STAND NEXT TO THE FIRE RAISE THAT FLAG UP A LITTLE HIGHER
PUT OUR FAITH IN SOMETHING WE CAN’T SEE
WITH THE HEART OF A SOLDIER WE PRESS ON…AMERICAN STRONG
WE GET KNOCKED DOWN…
WE STAND BACK UP…
THROUGH IT ALL…
IN GOD WE TRUST…
WE HIT WALLS THAT LOOK TOO HIGH TO CLIMB
WE GET LOST SEARCHIN’ FOR A SIGN
WE HIT WALLS THAT LOOK TOO HIGH TO CLIMB
WE GET LOST SEARCHIN’ FOR A SIGN
WE STAND NEXT TO THE FIRE RAISE THAT FLAG UP A LITTLE HIGHER
PUT OUR FAITH IN SOMETHING WE CAN’T SEE
WITH THE HEART OF A SOLDIER WE PRESS ON…AND ON… AND ON…
AMERICAN STRONG… AMERICAN STRONG…AMERICAN STRONG…
