Lyrics:
Took a redeye from LA to see my family
Struck up with a soldier who was coming home for a week
He hadn't seen his newborn girl except a picture on the internet
And his voice cracked as he told me she'd just taken her first steps

Two days in Atlanta, mama pulled me aside
Said darling I can see you've got something heavy on your mind
Said mama, what does this all mean and how am I to sleep
When a soldier pays the dearest cost so the rest of us are free

Pray child for the men and women who
Keep on keepin' on for the red, white and blue
Oh everyday you live and breathe and see that eagle fly
Don't forget who keeps our dreams alive

There's a picture on the mantel of my dad in uniform
But he doesn't talk much bout his time in the war
He said, baby girl, there's some things I'd just as soon forget
Cause I held the hand of my best friend, while he took his last breath

Now, don't let it stop you from living out your life
Knowing that a soldier puts it all on the line
You just go out there and tell 'em that you're proud
Cause what they give to you and me we couldn't ever live without

Oh, (those) boots in the desert sand
To put freedom in our hands
So every single day you gotta

Pray child for the men and women who
Keep on keepin' on for the red, white and blue
Oh everyday you live and breathe to see the eagle fly
Don't you forget the ones who keep our dreams alive
Don't forget who keep our dreams alive
