Stand
Standing Tall: A Patriotic Anthem Reflecting Gratitude and Sacrifice
Lyrics
Sometimes I complain about
Sometimes, I express dissatisfaction about
This everyday morning drive
The routine morning commute I experience every day
When I get up and go to work
When I wake up and go to work
I ain’t worried I might die
However, I don't worry about the possibility of death
I’ve never laced up my boots
I've never prepared myself for combat
And ran into a firefight
And faced a firefight in military boots
Never worn a uniform
I've never worn a military uniform
Or offered up my life
Or sacrificed my life for a cause
So I’m gonna stand
So, I am committed to
Cover my heart with my right hand
Standing and covering my heart with my right hand
I’ll sing every word till my dyin day
I will sing every word until my last day
Thank God I live in the USA
Expressing gratitude for living in the USA
This flag and just a piece of cloth to me
This flag is more than just a piece of cloth to me
I know people bled red so I can be free
I acknowledge that people sacrificed for my freedom
I’m gonna honor that
I am determined to honor that sacrifice
Say thank you all I can
Saying thank you in every way I can
And I’m gonna stand
And I will continue to stand
I’ve never had to kiss my kids
I've never had to say goodbye to my kids
For what might be the last goodbye
Fearing it might be our last farewell
My mom never waited on
My mom never experienced the anxiety of
The call that might change her life
Waiting for a life-changing phone call
I’m never gonna stand around
I will never stand idly by
And let old glory be set aflame
And watch our national flag be set on fire
You can kneel anytime you like
While others may kneel, I choose not to
But I’ll never do the same
I will never do the same
So I’m gonna stand
So, I am committed to
Cover my heart with my right hand
Standing and covering my heart with my right hand
I’ll sing every word till my dyin day
I will sing every word until my last day
Thank God I live in the USA
Expressing gratitude for living in the USA
This flag and just a piece of cloth to me
This flag is more than just a piece of cloth to me
I know people bled red so I can be free
I acknowledge that people sacrificed for my freedom
I’m gonna honor that
I am determined to honor that sacrifice
Say thank you all I can
Saying thank you in every way I can
And I’m gonna stand
And I will continue to stand
So I’m gonna stand
So, I am committed to
Cover my heart with my right hand
Standing and covering my heart with my right hand
I’ll sing every word till my dyin day
I will sing every word until my last day
Thank God I live in the USA
Expressing gratitude for living in the USA
This flag and just a piece of cloth to me
This flag is more than just a piece of cloth to me
I know people bled red so I can be free
I acknowledge that people sacrificed for my freedom
I’m gonna honor that
I am determined to honor that sacrifice
Say thank you all I can
Saying thank you in every way I can
And I’m gonna stand
And I will continue to stand
Yeah I'm gonna stand
Yes, I will continue to stand
