  • 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
    There ain't no help the cavalry's 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 Writer/s: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
