Stripes & Stars

It's getting harder every day
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 Old 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
I wish you could have seen his face
When he said save some for Daddy
I know it doesn't feel quite fair
That they keep you over there
When we both need you so badly
But then I see Old 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

When I'm all out of tears
And I start to lose the faith
I just take one look around
I see the reasons why
We need to sacrifice
And find the strength to look past now

I see the hope it brings
And 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
Than stripes and stars

I see so much more
Than stripes and stars
So much more
