00:10Before the sun breaks through the morning
00:12Before the world begins its day
00:15Somebody stand and watch somewhere
00:17A thousand miles away
00:20And somewhere there's a family
00:23With an empty chair tonight
00:25Holding on to one more promise
00:28Beneath the same stars
00:30Beneath the same sky
00:33There's a young man standing in a foreign land
00:36With his country's color sewn upon his arm
00:39He's got a letter from his mother in his hand
00:41And a photograph to keep his daughter warm
00:44There's a woman on a ship out on the sea
00:46Watching moonlight dance across the rolling blue
00:49She whispers to the stars above the waves
00:52Tell my little boy I'm coming home to you
00:54When a pilot cuts a pathway through the clouds
00:57While the whole world sleeps beneath the wings
01:00Every heartbeat carries someone waiting
01:02Every uniform asks someone that it needs
01:05They don't ask for glory
01:07They don't ask for fame
01:09They answer when they need it
01:12And carry every name
01:15Let the flag still fly
01:18Let it rise against the thunder in the sky
01:22For the brave who stand together
01:24Through the storm and through the fire
01:27For the hearts that never surrender
01:29And the courage that will never tire
01:35Let the flag still fly
01:38For the ones who serve beneath its colors high
01:42From the mountains to the oceans
01:45From the darkness to the light
01:47For the ones who keep the watch
01:51Let the flag still fly
01:55There's a medic kneeling in the pouring rain
01:58Trying to keep a wounded brother breathing
02:00There's a rescue helicopter fighting through the wind
02:03With a crew that won't give up on anybody
02:05There's an engineer who builds a bridge at dawn
02:08So the people on the other side can cross
02:10There's a convoy bringing medicine and food
02:13Through the danger, through the dust, despite the cost
02:15There's a signal reaching out across the night
02:18And a mechanic working long beneath the wings
02:21There's a cook who feeds the weary after midnight
02:23And a thousand other hands behind the scenes
02:26From the submarines beneath the ocean floor
02:28To the boots that walk the frozen northern shore
02:31Every job and every sacrifice
02:33Is a part of what we're standing for
02:36Some carry rifles
02:38Some carry hope
02:40Some bring the wounded home
02:42And some hold families together
02:44While their loved ones are gone
02:47Let the flag still fly
02:49Let it rise against the thunder in the sky
02:53For the brave who stand together
02:55Through the storm and through the fire
02:58For the hearts that never surrender
03:00And the courage that will never tire
03:06Let the flag still fly
03:09For the ones who serve beneath its colors high
03:13From the mountains to the oceans
03:16From the darkness to the light
03:18For the ones who keep the watch
03:22Let the flag still fly
03:24There's a little boy who learned to ride his bike
03:27While his daddy watched him through a telephone
03:29There's a mother holding back a thousand tears
03:32Saying, baby, I'll be fine here on my own
03:34There's a husband folding laundry late at night
03:37With a sleeping baby resting on his chest
03:40There's a wife who leaves the porch light burning bright
03:42And a prayer she says before she goes to rest
03:45There's a birthday cake with candles burning down
03:47And a Christmas tree with presents left untouched
03:50There's a family smiling through a video call
03:52Trying not to show how much they're missing us
03:55But when the front door opens one fine day
03:57And those familiar footsteps cross the floor
04:00All the tears they've held for far too long
04:03Come rushing out as arms reach out once more
04:05And for the ones who never made it back
04:08We will carry what they gave
04:11Not just names upon a monument
04:13But the lives they lived so great
04:16For the wounded still recovering
04:18For the battles no one sees
04:20May we give them more than gratitude
04:23May we give them what they need
04:26And when the last parade is over
04:28When the final bugle fades
04:31Let our promise be much stronger
04:33More than the words we say today
04:50Let the flag still fly
04:55Or they go
04:57We will carry what you are
04:57If you love and remind 마음
04:59You
04:59I wonder how much
