Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly
Where Freedom Soars: A Patriotic Anthem of American Dreams
Lyrics
Well if you ask me where I come from
Expressing willingness to share personal origins.
Here's what I tell everyone:
Stating a response given to everyone when asked about their origin.
I was born by God's dear grace
Acknowledging being born with the grace of God.
In an extraordinary place
Describing the birthplace as extraordinary.
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Celebrating the symbolism of the stars, stripes, and the eagle in the American flag.
It's a big ol' land with countless dreams
Highlighting the vastness of the country and the abundance of dreams.
Happiness ain't out of reach
Emphasizing that happiness is attainable for everyone.
Hard work pays off the way it should
Affirming the principle that hard work leads to deserved success.
Yeah, I've seen enough to know that we've got it good
Based on personal experiences, asserting the goodness of the country.
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Reiterating the pride associated with the American flag.
There's a lady that stands in a harbor
Referring to the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of shared beliefs.
For what we believe
Expressing dedication to shared values.
And there's a bell that still echoes
Highlighting a bell that symbolizes the sacrifices made for freedom.
The price that it cost to be free
Acknowledging the cost paid for freedom.
I pledge allegiance to this flag
Pledging allegiance to the American flag.
And if that bothers you, well that's too bad
Defending one's allegiance and dismissing potential objections.
But if you got pride and you're proud you do
Encouraging others with pride to join in common values.
Hey, we could use some more like me and you
Promoting unity and the need for more individuals with shared values.
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Reaffirming the pride associated with the American flag.
Yes, there's a lady that stands in a harbor
Repeating the reference to the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of shared beliefs.
For what we believe
Reiterating dedication to shared values.
And there's a bell that still echoes
Repeating the mention of a bell symbolizing the cost of freedom.
The price that it cost to be free
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the price paid for freedom.
No, it ain't the only place on earth
Acknowledging that the U.S. is not the only place on earth.
But it's the only place that I prefer
Expressing a personal preference for the U.S. as the best place.
To love my wife and raise my kids
Stating the desire to love family and raise children in the U.S.
Hey, the same way that my daddy did
Comparing personal choices to those of the speaker's father.
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Reaffirming pride associated with the American flag.
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Repeating the pride and symbolism of the stars, stripes, and the eagle.
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Reiterating the pride and symbolism of the stars, stripes, and the eagle.
