Chorus
We're the blood in America's veins
we're the heart, the fire and the flames,
We're the reason she'll never wear chains…

Verse
Words penned in 1810,
handed down since way back then.
Ma gave my brother's book a kiss,
and told us that she promised him she him that she would read us this…

Verse
What's a cloud without some rain?
What's a fire without a flame?
What good's a guitar without strings?
or a Country without dreams?"

Chorus
We're the blood in America's veins
we're the heart, the fire and the flames,
We're the reason she'll never wear chains and that ain't changing…

Verse
A wooden box went in the ground,
No one there could make a sound.
I saw how Ma had done her best,
took the pages from her hands and held her to my chest and we read...

Verse
What good is History that's forgot?
or a stove that won't get hot?
What's a breath without fresh air?
what good's a heart if it don't care?

Chorus
We're the blood in America's veins
we're the heart, the fire and the flames,
We're the reason she'll never wear chains and that ain't changing…
No that ain’t changing…

Bridge
The Eagle flies so high in the sky because of people like you and I
Unwilling to forget the tears and blood and sweat and all the reasons why…

Chorus
We're the blood in America's veins
we're the heart, the fire and the flames,
We're the reason she'll never wear chains and that ain't changing…

Chorus
We're the blood in America's veins
we're the heart, the fire and the flames,
We're the reason she'll never wear chains and that ain't changing…
No that ain’t changing
