"We Take Care of Our Own" underlines the importance of coming together to overcome adversity as a one big American Pie... I mean one big American family :-). The American flag7 is a symbol for unity, or coming together. The song makes references to some of the darkest times of recent American history, like Hurricane Katrina10,11,12. During the crisis, the Bush Administration was harshly criticized for their lack of response13, but as the song states, people came together to help each other rebuild their lives
The music video putout to promote the single has lyrics written on it to further emphasize the theme of the song. Bruce really wants to convey the message to the few Americas who are still capable of reading.
Leave a comment below to let me know what you think of the song.
- 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
We need to make the United States "United" for the people!
