Came from nothing, looking up
Knew that I could rise above
Stars and stripes were not enough
Honor falling from the sky
Eagle flying from the ice

Could a nation live or die
I was meant to make a stand, I knew it
All I needed was a chance to prove it
Got the colors on my back
Maybe all it takes is one man
And there's no more excuses

You're all seeing red when I come through
The white of your eyes, no mercy
You're trying your best, black and dark blue
You know I can do this all day

Is it all a world at war
Shield I know is made for more
Losing what we're fighting for
Price of freedom, what's the cost
Run now, they won't let you stop

Till I'm bleeding every drop
I was meant to make a stand, I knew it
All I needed was a chance to prove it
Got the colors on my back
Maybe all it takes is one man
And there's no more excuses

You're all seeing red when I come through
The white of your eyes, no mercy
You're trying your best, black and dark blue
You know I can do this all day

You're all seeing red when I come through
The white of your eyes, no mercy
You're trying your best, black and dark blue
You know I can do this all damn day

I was meant to make a stand, I knew it
All I needed was a chance to prove it
You're all seeing red when I come through
The white of your eyes, no mercy

You're trying your best, black and dark blue
You know I can do this all day
You're all seeing red when I come through
The white of your eyes, no mercy
You're trying your best, black and dark blue
You know I can do this all damn day
