Colors in the Sky

Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sun comes up on Main Street and the flag is on the pole Old man on the corner tips his cap and says hello Then thunder's rolling in low, but there ain't a cloud in sight Just a line of silver wings tearing open morning light [Chorus] Colors in the sky, red and white and blue Somebody's son and somebody's daughter flying over you We hold the line, we hold the door, we look out for our own Colors in the sky, and we're bringing it on home [Verse 2] Out on the gray Pacific there's a carrier holding the sea Young sailors standing watch tonight for you and me When the water's rising and the wind is blowing mean There's a crew in a helicopter hanging high above the stream [Chorus] Colors in the sky, red and white and blue Somebody's son and somebody's daughter flying over you We hold the line, we hold the door, we look out for our own Colors in the sky, and we're bringing it on home [Bridge] Support your neighbor, lend a hand That's how we always made our stand From the deck to the drop zone to your own front yard Stand up, stand proud [Final Chorus] Colors in the sky, red and white and blue Somebody's son and somebody's daughter flying over you We hold the line, we hold the door, we look out for our own Colors in the sky, and we're bringing it on home [Outro] Bringing it on home
