In the Heartland We Stand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] John's got a flag on his old front porch, Red and white stripes, six rows of stars, He wears his pride like a farmer's badge, In a world that feels so scarred. [Verse 2] Mary Lou prays down on her knees, For the good Lord to bless these lands, She works the fields, tends the bees, Knows in her heart where she stands. [Chorus] In the heartland, we stand, through thick and thin, With calloused hands and a prayer on the wind, Voices rising strong, we will defend, The way of life we hold till the end. [Verse 3] Eli's got a barn full of hay and dreams, He talks bout change, the American way, Sings those songs near the lazy streams, Hopes for brighter days. [Verse 4] Sarah's got a shop on Main Street Lane, Baking pies and brewing small-town cheer, She waves hello with eyes so plain, Believes in rights held dear. [Chorus] In the heartland, we stand, through thick and thin, With calloused hands and a prayer on the wind, Voices rising strong, we will defend, The way of life we hold till the end.
