[00:21.777]We were here blowing out birthday cakes
[00:24.990]Riding our bikes, jumping in lakes
[00:27.404]Feeling butterflies on our first dates
[00:30.145]And stealing our old man's beer
[00:32.417]We were here back home in the home of the brave
[00:35.441]But the brave ain't home, they're an ocean away
[00:38.323]Doing their job, keeping us safe
[00:41.705]While we were here
[00:43.485]They were there, fighting back on the front lines
[00:46.439]Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
[00:49.478]Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
[00:54.378]They were there in the name of a hometown
[00:57.198]Of a last name that was passed down
[00:59.948]Every day, every night, every moment we were here
[01:05.212]They were there
[01:06.412](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:10.652]They were there
[01:11.803](Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:16.261]We were here saying the Pledge of Allegiance
[01:19.455]Repeating those words, not knowing their meaning
[01:22.341]Taking for granted all our freedoms
[01:25.356]In the land of the free
[01:27.172]We were here ******** about minimum wage
[01:30.420]Splitting ourselves into red and blue states
[01:33.173]And still sat down, hot food on the plate
[01:35.683]Yeah, while we were here
[01:37.982]They were there, fighting back on the front lines
[01:40.872]Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
[01:43.916]Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
[01:48.759]They were there in the name of a hometown
[01:51.614]Of a last name that was passed down
[01:54.524]Every day, every night, every moment we were here
[01:59.662]They were there
[02:00.876](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:05.341]They were there
[02:06.383](Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:10.852]They were there
[02:13.826]Giving everything they got
[02:16.062]Yeah, they were there
[02:19.079]Some came home in a pinewood box
[02:21.611]With those stars and stripes on top
[02:27.276]They were there, fighting back on the front lines
[02:29.964]Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
[02:33.204]Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
[02:37.962]They were there in the name of a hometown
[02:40.840]Of a last name that was passed down
[02:43.694]Every day, every night, every moment we were here
[02:49.048]They were there
[02:50.027](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:54.385]They were there
[02:55.465](Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:00.627](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:06.375](Ooh-ooh-ooh)
