歌曲歌詞
We were here blowing out birthday cakes
我們曾在此 吹熄蛋糕上的蠟燭
Riding our bikes, jumping in lakes
騎車四處穿行 在湖岸邊盡情嬉戲
Feeling butterflies on our first dates
也會因為第一次約會緊張兮兮
And stealing our old man's beer
故作成熟 把老爸的啤酒偷來喝
We were here back home in the home of the brave
我們曾在此 在這勇敢的故里
But the brave ain't home, they're an ocean away
而真正的勇士並不在家 而是遠隔重洋
Doing their job, keeping us safe
恪盡職守 保衛我們的安全
While we were here
正當我們在這裡時
They were there, fighting back on the front lines
他們遠在他鄉 在前線奮勇抗敵
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
在黎明到來前趕緊把靴子紮緊 奔赴戰場
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
而他們的母親 擔憂得徹夜難眠
They were there in the name of a hometown
他們跋涉萬里 以家鄉的名義
Of a last name that was passed down
以自己祖祖輩輩傳下的信仰
Every day, every night, every moment we were here
每個日日夜夜 我們活在當下的分分秒秒
They were there
都應記住他們的存在
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
They were there
是他們創造了今天的一切
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
We were here saying the Pledge of Allegiance
我們曾在此 右手貼胸宣誓效忠國家
Repeating those words, not knowing their meaning
重複著誓言裡的話 卻不知其中深意
Taking for granted all our freedoms
對於我們獲得的自由 認為是理所應當
In the land of the free
就在美利堅這片自由的土地上
We were here ******** about minimum wage
我們曾在此 抱怨自己微薄的薪水
Splitting ourselves into red and blue states
將國家分為紅藍兩派（分別指代民主黨和共和黨）
And still sat down, hot food on the plate
卻不曾想過 我們仍有所可棲 食可果腹
Yeah, while we were here
正當我們在這裡時
They were there, fighting back on the front lines
他們遠在他鄉 在前線奮勇抗敵
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
在黎明到來前趕緊把靴子紮緊 奔赴戰場
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
而他們的母親 擔憂得徹夜難眠
They were there in the name of a hometown
他們跋涉萬里 以家鄉的名義
Of a last name that was passed down
以自己祖祖輩輩傳下的信仰
Every day, every night, every moment we were here
每個日日夜夜 我們活在當下的分分秒秒
They were there
都應記住他們的存在
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
They were there
是他們創造了今天的一切
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
They were there
他們遠在他鄉
Giving everything they got
奉獻了自己生命的全部
Yeah, they were there
他們就在那裡
Some came home in a pinewood box
有人回來時被裝在松木盒裡
With those stars and stripes on top
就在那星條旗的掩蓋之下（意指戰士壯烈犧牲）
They were there, fighting back on the front lines
他們遠在他鄉 在前線奮勇抗敵
Strapping up their boots before the sunrise
在黎明到來前趕緊把靴子紮緊 奔赴戰場
Keeping their mamas up all night in fear
而他們的母親 擔憂得徹夜難眠
They were there in the name of a hometown
他們跋涉萬里 以家鄉的名義
Of a last name that was passed down
以自己祖祖輩輩傳下的信仰
Every day, every night, every moment we were here
每個日日夜夜 我們活在當下的分分秒秒
They were there
都應記住他們的存在
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
They were there
是他們創造了今天的一切
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
