歌词
We were here blowing out birthday cakes
我们曾在此 吹熄蛋糕上的蜡烛
Riding our bikes, jumping in lakes
骑车四处穿行 在湖岸边尽情嬉戏
Feeling butterflies on our first dates
也会因为第一次约会紧张兮兮
And stealing our old man's beer
故作成熟 把老爸的啤酒偷来喝
We were here back home in the home of the brave
我们曾在此 在这勇敢的故里
But the brave ain't home, they're an ocean away
而真正的勇士并不在家 而是远隔重洋
Doing their job, keeping us safe
恪尽职守 保卫我们的安全
While we were here
正当我们在这里时
They were there, fighting back on the front lines
他们远在他乡 在前线奋勇抗敌
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
在黎明到来前赶紧把靴子扎紧 奔赴战场
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
而他们的母亲 担忧得彻夜难眠
They were there in the name of a hometown
他们跋涉万里 以家乡的名义
Of a last name that was passed down
以自己祖祖辈辈传下的信仰
Every day, every night, every moment we were here
每个日日夜夜 我们活在当下的分分秒秒
They were there
都应记住他们的存在
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
They were there
是他们创造了今天的一切
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
We were here saying the Pledge of Allegiance
我们曾在此 右手贴胸宣誓效忠国家
Repeating those words, not knowing their meaning
重复着誓言里的话 却不知其中深意
Taking for granted all our freedoms
对于我们获得的自由 认为是理所应当
In the land of the free
就在美利坚这片自由的土地上
We were here bitching about minimum wage
我们曾在此 抱怨自己微薄的薪水
Splitting ourselves into red and blue states
将国家分为红蓝两派（分别指代民主党和共和党）
And still sat down, hot food on the plate
却不曾想过 我们仍有所可栖 食可果腹
Yeah, while we were here
正当我们在这里时
They were there, fighting back on the front lines
他们远在他乡 在前线奋勇抗敌
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
在黎明到来前赶紧把靴子扎紧 奔赴战场
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
而他们的母亲 担忧得彻夜难眠
They were there in the name of a hometown
他们跋涉万里 以家乡的名义
Of a last name that was passed down
以自己祖祖辈辈传下的信仰
Every day, every night, every moment we were here
每个日日夜夜 我们活在当下的分分秒秒
They were there
都应记住他们的存在
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
They were there
是他们创造了今天的一切
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
They were there
他们远在他乡
Giving everything they got
奉献了自己生命的全部
Yeah, they were there
他们就在那里
Some came home in a pinewood box
有人回来时被装在松木盒里
With those stars and stripes on top
就在那星条旗的掩盖之下（意指战士壮烈牺牲）
They were there, fighting back on the front lines
他们远在他乡 在前线奋勇抗敌
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
在黎明到来前赶紧把靴子扎紧 奔赴战场
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
而他们的母亲 担忧得彻夜难眠
They were there in the name of a hometown
他们跋涉万里 以家乡的名义
Of a last name that was passed down
以自己祖祖辈辈传下的信仰
Every day, every night, every moment we were here
每个日日夜夜 我们活在当下的分分秒秒
They were there
都应记住他们的存在
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
They were there
是他们创造了今天的一切
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
