[Verse] Once the church bells rang on Sunday, And families knelt to pray, We spoke of love and sacrifice, In the humble light of day. But now the world is moving fast, Caught up in the race, We forgot the simple truths, Only seeking praise. [Verse 2] There were hands that reached for strangers, Hearts that gave till they bled, We fed the hungry, clothed the poor, And sheltered them in our stead. But in the hum of modern life, Those virtues fade like mist, Trading kindness for convenience, Leaves a hollow fist. [Chorus] Oh, where have all those virtues gone? In times we used to know? A world that's lost its guiding stars, In the restless undertow. But deep in the soil of every heart, Hope springs eternal, true, We'll find our way back home again, And live those virtues too. [Verse 3] Old folks tell the tales of yore, Of kindness in the fields, Men who'd work till their hands were sore, For others, not for deals. These stories in the twilight, A beacon in the night, Remind us of the better way, And guide us back to light. [Bridge] There's a whisper in the willow, A promise in the breeze, That though we've strayed so far away, There's still hope in the trees. For every heart that's willing, For every soul that's true, The path to grace is never gone, It's waiting there for you. [Chorus] Oh, where have all those virtues gone? In times we used to know? A world that's lost its guiding stars, In the restless undertow. But deep in the soil of every heart, Hope springs eternal, true, We'll find our way back home again, And live those virtues too.

[Verse] Through the straits of Formosa Where the typhoons collide Leathernecks march with the weary tides The eagle’s wings hang heavy With duty's iron chain In the heart of the Orient Where freedom remains [Verse 2] From Pendleton to Kaohsiung It's a long Restless road Echoes of Dixie in the dragon's abode Faded letters in pockets Stained with mud and rain Granddad’s tales of Chu Lai blend with the pain [Chorus] With Semper Fi on our lips and the dawn in our eyes We stand in the breach ‘neath Asian skies For a land not our own Yet a bond tight and true We're the few The proud In the red White And blue [Verse 3] The bamboo shadows flicker with whispers of old In the village of Taiping Stories unfold Underneath the soft lanterns Memories fade slow Brothers in arms Facing the unknown [Verse 4] The dragon's breath shifts Casting shadows so deep As we stand vigilant while the restless sleep With rifles shouldered high In the misty twilight Guardians of freedom 'til first morning light [Bridge] The weight of the old world rests on young shoulders here With a compass set westward and the people's cheer In the silence of watch Hear the spirits of home In this foreign land We’re never alone
[Verse] Neon signs flicker on Main Street's dim glow, Shadows where we used to dance real slow. Night falls like a curtain, cold and unkind, Haunted by echoes of love left behind. [Verse 2] Fields that once whispered sweet secrets at dawn, Now whisper sorrow, 'cause baby, you're gone. The old diner closed, the jukebox stands still, Silent as the ache that I can't seem to kill. [Chorus] Lonely trucks rumble down an empty road, Carrying dreams that never quite showed. This town wore us down, it’s us who it chose, Now I'm left with the empty town blues. [Verse 3] Barrow Creek Bridge where we carved our names, Worn by the weather, washed away by rain. No one visits that spot anymore, It's a relic just like what we swore. [Verse 4] Grandma's old barn, falling beams and dust, Still smells like home, still shields the rust. Yet everytime I pass by, I see your face, In the fragments of memories this heart can't replace. [Chorus] Lonely trucks rumble down an empty road, Carrying dreams that never quite showed. This town wore us down, it’s us who it chose, Now I'm left with the empty town blues.

[Verse] Snap your fingers, do it yourself, We all out here chasing wealth. Moving smooth like no one else, Under stars, our stories can we tell. [Verse 2] Out on the porch with a warm night's breeze, Strumming guitars, feeling at ease. Grandpa's tales and Mama's pleas, Under the stars, memories seize. [Chorus] Gold ain't glitter, it's just in our eyes, Dreams on the river, 'neath southern skies. Chasing that wealth, while time just flies, Under stars, our truth never lies. [Verse 3] Rollin' fields and endless roads, Every mile, a story unfolds. Livin' life in simple codes, Under stars, where the night explodes. [Bridge] We’re more than dollars and shiny things, Hearts and hopes, with angel wings. In this dance, the future sings, Under stars, where our spirit clings. [Chorus] Gold ain't glitter, it's just in our eyes, Dreams on the river, 'neath southern skies. Chasing that wealth, while time just flies, Under stars, our truth never lies.

[Verse] Grew up on a farm mid Indiana soil Cows and cornfields work and toil Dreamed of oceans waves so fine She felt an island calling pine [Verse 2] Left her home sailed on a breeze Found herself on tropic seas Pineapple fields golden and bright Became her kingdom day and night [Chorus] She’s the princess of the pineapple pirates Roams the waves where the sun is the highest From Indiana to islands wide Captain of the ocean tide [Verse 3] Fought with pirates wild and free Struck gold beneath the coco tree Sailed the galleon strong and proud Laughed with the thunder spoke out loud [Bridge] Crown of gold kissed by the sea Leading pirates wild and free No more soil and no more barn On her head jewel palm scarred charm [Verse 4] Whispers of Indiana still in her dream Fields of green turned into blue stream Stars above and sails unfold From the land where stories are told
