⸻ Verse 1
I grew up singing the old songs,
Believing every line—
A people bound by promise
And a will that stood behind.
But somewhere in the shadows
The truth began to fade;
The chorus of our fathers
Buried by the spirit of the age.

Does anyone recognize this place anymore.
My heart beats trembling
For the home I always loved.

⸻ Pre-Chorus
There is a storm in my soul
I’m trying to understand
It’s not like me
To turn my back on what I once held dear
So why do I feel the traitor—
When I’ve given all I am.

⸻ Chorus
Am I abandoning the story,
The prayer that shaped our land—
The vow to keep her steady,
Peace and order in our lands?
How can I hold to the promise
Our fathers fought to keep;
Am I standing watch to keep alive
The fire we were given?

I’m not falling back—
I’m trying to hold the line.
Loyal to the calling
That was yours as much as mine.

⸻ Verse 2
The vows we made
In our every anthem sung
A mission born of noble calling
Still echoes in my mind
The One who shaped these borders
Still whispers from on high,
His calling for this people
To be steady through the times.

Perhaps we have broken covenant,
Forgotten who we are—
Perhaps we can still turn back,
Is the cry from my heart:

Brothers, don’t misjudge us;
Sisters, hear our plea—
Stand on guard with me
So the future might be free.

⸻ Pre-Chorus
So please don’t call me faithless—
This ache is proof of love.
I’m grieving what we’re risking,
But I’ll trust in God above.

⸻ Chorus
No, I’m not abandoning the story
Or the prayer that shaped our land—
The vow to keep her steady,
Peace and order in our lands.
I’m holding to the promise
Our fathers fought to keep;
We’re standing watch to keep alive
The fire we were given.

No, I’m not falling back—
I’m trying to hold the line.
Loyal to the calling
That was yours as much as mine.

⸻ Bridge
We’ve always been a people
Defined by what we’d stay—
By standing in the doorway,
Saying, “Not now. Not here. Not us.”
When storms rose on the mountains,
We answered with our knees;
We guarded what was sacred
From sea to sea to sea.

So hear me through the chaos—
I’m not your enemy.
I’m fighting for the future
We were always meant to be.

⸻ Chorus
No, I’m not abandoning the story;
I’m keeping watch through night.
The vow to renew, awoken.
We will raise again a beacon.
And maybe in the distance,
When the wanderers turn home,
The dream will burn the brighter
Than the one we’ve ever known.

No, we’ll not be forever parted—
Just waiting faithfully,
Till we stand once more in purpose
From sea to sea to sea.
