I been knocking
on the door
that holds the throne
I been looking
for the map
that leads me home
I been stumbling on good
hearts turned to stone
the road of good intentions
has gone dry as a bone
we take care of our own
We take care
of our own
wherever this
flag's flown
We take care
of our own
From Chicago
to New Orleans
From the muscle
to the bone
From the shotgun shack
to the Super Dome
With no help the
cavalry stayed at home
there ain't no-one hearing
the bugle blowin'
we take care of our own
We take care
of our own
wherever this
flag's flown
We take care
of our own
Where're the eyes
the eyes with
the will to see
Where're the hearts
that run over with mercy
Where's the love
that's not forsaken me
Where's the work
that'll set my hands
my soul free
Where's the spirit that'll
reign, reign over me
Where's the promise
from sea to shining sea
Where's the promise
from sea to shining sea
Wherever this flag
is flown
Wherever this flag
is flown
Wherever this flag
is flown
we take care
of our own
We take care
of our own
wherever this
flag's flown
We take care
of our own
We take care
of our own
We take care
of our own
wherever this
flag's flown
We take care
of our own
