"Red, White, & Blue" lyrics
(from "The Gray House" soundtrack)
Woke up in a shiver
Had a dream last night
The world I knew was over
I was dying
In a foxhole
And the smell of war and dust and smoke
Filled my soul
The past is written in blood
By the boot prints left in the sand
And now the future's in the wind
With tomorrow slipping through our hands
Say a prayer for the ones
Who sacrificed for you
And the red, white, and blue
Hear the thunder of the drums
Getting closer to the heart of the truth
Freedom is so easy to lose
That's the story for the glory
Of the red, white, and blue
One life
Takes another
As the innocent and guilty
Run for cover
Is it justice?
Is it treason?
Only history will say
Who had the reason
At the end of the fight
In the dawns early light
Say a prayer for the ones
Who sacrificed for you
And the red, white, and blue
Hear the thunder of the drums
Getting closer to the heart of the truth
Freedom is so easy to lose
That's the story for the glory
Of the red, white, and blue
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
Say a prayer for the ones
Who sacrificed for you
And the red, white, and blue
Hear the thunder of the drums
Getting closer to the heart of the truth
Freedom is so easy to lose
That's the story for the glory
Of the red, white, and blue
Say a prayer, oh
For the red, white and blue
Had a dream last night
The world I knew was over
I was dying
In a foxhole
And the smell of war and dust and smoke
Filled my soul
The past is written in blood
By the boot prints left in the sand
And now the future's in the wind
With tomorrow slipping through our hands
Say a prayer for the ones
Who sacrificed for you
And the red, white, and blue
Hear the thunder of the drums
Getting closer to the heart of the truth
Freedom is so easy to lose
That's the story for the glory
Of the red, white, and blue
One life
Takes another
As the innocent and guilty
Run for cover
Is it justice?
Is it treason?
Only history will say
Who had the reason
At the end of the fight
In the dawns early light
Say a prayer for the ones
Who sacrificed for you
And the red, white, and blue
Hear the thunder of the drums
Getting closer to the heart of the truth
Freedom is so easy to lose
That's the story for the glory
Of the red, white, and blue
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
Say a prayer for the ones
Who sacrificed for you
And the red, white, and blue
Hear the thunder of the drums
Getting closer to the heart of the truth
Freedom is so easy to lose
That's the story for the glory
Of the red, white, and blue
Say a prayer, oh
For the red, white and blue
