Brad Paisley - "American Flag on the Moon"

Written by Brad Paisley. Produced by Luke Wooten and Brad Paisley. Released in August 2014 by Arista Nashville.

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 to 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 to 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.
