Alarm clock blarin', sun just peekin' through the blinds
I roll over, hit snooze, leave the world behind
My old boots by the bedside, beggin' me to wear
But I can't find the will, I just don't care
Another day, another dollar, but what's it really for?
Just a cog in the machine, I'm lookin' for something more
But let's take a moment, for those who gave it all
Young lives cut so short, so that freedom wouldn't fall
Not just stories in our history books, but flesh and blood so true
They fought for me and you, now the least we can do
[Chorus]
Is honor the fallen, lift their legacy high
Remember who they were, and why they chose to fly
[Chorus]
Honor the fallen, lift their legacy high
Remember who they were, and why they died
Honor the fallen, and their loved ones
Remember who they were, brave souls that didn't run
From the streets of our cities, to the hills of our lands
There's a shadow falling, darkening right where we stand
Politicians play their games, using skin color as their go-to pawn
But we can't let'em win, gotta see the breaking dawn
[Chorus]
Honor the fallen, lift their legacy high
Remember who they were, and why they died
Honor the fallen, and their loved ones
Remember who they were, brave souls that didn't run
[Guitar Solo]
Children grow up learning hate,
from the bullshit they're fed
But we can change the story, let's plant a little love instead
