American Flag on the Moon

American Flag on the Moon - Brad Paisley

How do we honor

Those who have fallen

And died for this dream

I'm sure of one thing

It's not with gridlock

Or bickering

We're the children of explorers

We came here from every corner

The adventurers that settled this land

Lead the world fought tyranny

Touched the stars brought liberty

Let's do that again

Tonight I dare you to dream

Go on believe impossible things

Whenever anybody says

There's anything we can't do

I mean after all

There's an American flag on the moon

Outside the other night

You should've seen the moonlight

It was enough to make you

Squint your eyes

So my five year old

Had learned about

The lunar landing

And he walked out

And started staring at the sky

Stood there for a while

Got a great big smile and said

"Dad I think I can see it can you

I bowed my head

Closed my eyes and said

Yeah son I think I do"

Tonight I dare you to dream

Go on believe impossible things

Whenever anybody says

There's anything we can't do

'Cause after all

There's an American flag on the moon

Oh in two hundred years

Think about all we've done so far

I don't see any reason

Why tomorrow can't be ours

Tonight I dare you to dream

Go on believe impossible things

Whenever anybody says

There's anything we can't do

'Cause after all after all

There's an American flag on the moon
