[Verse 1] Thirteen colonies, restless hearts Tired of chains, tired of crowns Farmers, printers, soldiers, poets Dreamin’ freedom into sound Ink on parchment, muskets raised Hope was thin but faith was strong “We hold these truths” they dared to say And changed the course of all time long [Chorus] From the fire… from the fight From the ashes into light Every loss, every win Every place we’ve ever been Through the storm, through the years We are still standing here Hand in hand, voice to voice Two hundred fifty years of choice [Verse 2] Wagons west on broken ground Iron rails, the nation grown Stars added to the banner’s sky But not all men were truly free Brother fought against his brother Fields ran red, the Union torn Lincoln spoke of “better angels” And freedom took a painful form [Chorus] From the fire… from the fight From the ashes into light Every scar, every tear Built the road that led us here Through the storm, through the years We are still standing here Bound by truth, tested choice Two hundred fifty years of voice [Verse 3] Factories roar, the cities rise Ellis Island, tired eyes A million stories, one flag Dreams stitched tight in red, white, blue Across two wars the oceans burned Young men answered history’s call They crossed the seas for freedom’s name So tyranny would fall [Bridge] From bread lines to moonlight From black-and-white to colorized One small step, the whole world watched As freedom touched the sky [Verse 4] Marching feet on southern roads Hands held high, voices bold Justice written into law But fought for in the streets Walls came down, a Cold War ended Rights expanded, doors swung wide We bent, we broke, we argued loud But never lost the drive [Chorus] From the fire… from the fight From the ashes into light Every wrong, every right Pulled us forward through the night Through the storm, through the years We are still standing here Not the same, still the choice Two hundred fifty years of voice [Verse 5] New frontiers in code and steel Towers fell but hearts stood tall Fear and hope side by side In a world connected all Different views, one Constitution Still the promise, still the test A nation always becoming At its strongest when it’s stressed [Final Chorus] From the fire… from the fight From the ashes into light Every soul, every name Every loss, every gain Through the storm, through the years We are still standing here Not because we’re perfect or pure But because freedom endures [Outro] Two hundred fifty years behind us A million more dreams ahead Still arguing, still believing Still rising… United States.
