//
(Verse 1)
The sun dipped low, painted the sky,
As I stood on that old dirt road,
Got the smell of rain, feel of home,
And memories in my heart that make me whole.
I remember nights where we laughed 'til dawn,
Underneath the stars, our fears were gone.
We raised our glass, made a silent vow,
To stand for peace, even though we didn't know how.

(Chorus)
So stay the hand, let hope command,
We fought the fight, now we understand.
For every tear and every scar,
We hold the weight of who we are.
There are greater tales for us to find,
We'll keep the peace, as the narrative unwinds.

(Verse 2)
I think of family, who never came back,
With a heart so brave, he led the attack.
We shared our dreams, caught the summer sun,
Now he’s a name on a stone, and I carry the gun.
The taste of ash from that fateful day,
A brother lost, but we still found our way.
With every step, I honor their fight,
In the quiet moments, they're my guiding light.

(Bridge)
Now the warriors return, dust on their boots,
With tales unsung and battle-worn roots.
The echoes of gunfire linger like smoke,
But their laughter tonight is the sweetest hope.
We stand together, shoulders held high,
For every sacrifice, we reach for the sky.

(Verse 3)
The taste of freedom, it lingers still,
Sweet as honey, warm like the thrill.
With every heartbeat, I feel the past,
But here in the now, we’re gonna make it last.
I see the dawn rising, a new day is here,
With the scent of the pines, I shed my fear.
We’ll carry on, for the ones who fought,
In this life we’ve built, we’ll never be caught.

(Outro)
So let the stories flow, let the bonds renew,
For we’ve paid the price, and we’re stronger too.
With every echo of the battles we’ve braved,
We’ll stay the hand for the love we saved.

Have a great day.
