Stripes And Stars

(专辑： I'm American - 2011)

It's getting harder everyday being half a world away
I'm so lonely here without you
It ain't easy to believe, I'm being all that I can be
Missing everything about you

But then I see your glory flying
And remember everything behind it

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more than stripes and stars

Another candle on his cake, wish you could've seen his face
When he said, "Save some for daddy"
No, it doesn't feel quite fair that they keep you over there
When we both need you so badly

Then I see your glory flying
And remember everything behind it, hey

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more than stripes and stars

When I'm all out of tears and I start to lose the faith
I just take a look around, yeah
I see the reasons why we need to sacrifice
And find the strength to look past now

I see the hope it brings, what it really means
That flag is so much more

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more, so much more
I see so much more than stripes and stars

So much more
