We’re the Blood in America’s Veins Copyright 2011 – James Morris Pearson Chorus We're the blood in America's veins we're the heart, the fire and the flames, We're the reason she'll never wear chains… Verse Wisdom from a hero’s pen, handed down since way back then. Daddy loved what that man wrote Ma gave that book a kiss and read dad’s favorite quote Verse What's a cloud without some rain? What's a fire without a flame? What good's a guitar without strings? or a Country without dreams?" Chorus We're the blood in America's veins we're the heart, the fire and the flames, We're the reason she'll never wear chains and that ain't changing… Verse A wooden box went in the ground, No one there could make a sound. I saw how Ma had done her best, took the pages from her hands and held her to my chest and we read... Verse What good is History that's forgot? or a stove that won't get hot? What's a breath without fresh air? what good's a heart if it don't care? Chorus We're the blood in America's veins we're the heart, the fire and the flames, We're the reason she'll never wear chains and that ain't changing… No that ain’t changing… Bridge The Eagle flies so high in the sky because of people like you and I Unwilling to forget the tears and blood and sweat and all the reasons why… Chorus We're the blood in America's veins we're the heart, the fire and the flames, We're the reason she'll never wear chains and that ain't changing… Chorus We're the blood in America's veins we're the heart, the fire and the flames, We're the reason she'll never wear chains and that ain't changing… No that ain’t changing
