The Stars Keep Shining

Intro
(Driving acoustic guitar, heavy drum beat, soaring electric guitar riff)
​[Verse 1]
Red dirt roads and a sun beating down
Old wooden barn on the edge of this town
Calloused hands working dawn until night
Holding standard for the red, blue, and white
From the Carolina hills to the Pacific shore
There’s a spirit in the ground that we’re standing for
​[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the thunder rolling cross the amber plains
We got freedom running through our veins!
​[Chorus]
Oh, the stars keep shining through the darkest night
Under one big sky, we stand up and fight
Bound by the land, raised by the grace
Of the bold and the free in this sacred place
Let the eagle fly high, let the stadium roar—
This is American heart to the core!
​[Verse 2]
Small-town porch with a flag on the post
Honoring the ones that we miss the most
Generations of blood, sweat, and tears
Building up the dream that was chased for years
We don't back down when the storm clouds roll
Got a steel-hard grit and a timeless soul
​[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the thunder rolling cross the amber plains
We got freedom running through our veins!
​[Chorus]
Oh, the stars keep shining through the darkest night
Under one big sky, we stand up and fight
Bound by the land, raised by the grace
Of the bold and the free in this sacred place
Let the eagle fly high, let the stadium roar—
This is American heart to the core!
​[Guitar Solo]
(Screaming electric guitar solo, soaring, high energy, driving drums)
​[Bridge]
(Music drops to steady bass and snare drum)
Hand on my heart as the anthem plays
Thankful for the light of these endless days
(Full band kicks back in, building up)
Yeah, side by side, we’re gonna hold the line!
​[Chorus]
Oh, the stars keep shining through the darkest night
Under one big sky, we stand up and fight
Bound by the land, raised by the grace
Of the bold and the free in this sacred place
Let the eagle fly high, let the stadium roar—
This is American heart to the core!
​[Outro]
American heart to the core!
Yeah, red, white, and blue...
Standing strong, standing true...
(Heavy drum fill, final ringing electric guitar chord)
