Lyrics

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 [Chorus] 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 There ain't no help, the cavalry stayed home There ain't no one hearing the bugle blowin' [Chorus] We take care of our own We take care of our own Wherever this flag's flown We take care of our own [Bridge] 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 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 the shining sea? Where's the promise from sea to the shining sea? Wherever this flag is flown Wherever this flag is flown Wherever this flag is flown [Chorus] 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
