we take care of our own

Bruce Springsteen

I've been knockin' on the door that holds the throne
I've been lookin' for the map that leads me home
I've been stumblin' on good hearts turned to stone
The road of good intentions has gone dry as 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 Superdome
We yelled "help" but the cavalry stayed home
There ain't no-one hearing the bugle blown...

We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag's flown
We take care of our own...

Where the eyes, the eyes with the will to see
Where the hearts, that run over with mercy
Where's the love that has not forsaken me
Where's the work that 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...
