[00:09.41]The lakes and pines they bleed of gracebeauty and
[00:17.61]And the rivers they run wild like an endless race
[00:22.23]
[00:27.30]The forests soar so high then fall to the sea
[00:31.42]
[00:35.73]As church bells ring and sing in harmony
[00:38.99]
[00:45.17]I heard them say they＇re shuttin＇ Detroit down
[00:49.23]
[00:54.30]But I won＇t leave cuz＇ this is my hometown
[00:58.30]
[01:02.55]And it＇s times like these we can＇t replace
[01:07.01]
[01:11.88]It＇s times like these we must embrace
[01:16.04]
[01:21.48]And even though it＇s bittersweet and brings us to our knees
[01:31.66]
[01:32.41]It makes us who we are, in times like these
[01:37.60]
[01:45.22]The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind
[01:49.85]
[01:54.48]With the memories of what was and what has been
[01:58.91]
[02:03.66]The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues
[02:07.60]
[02:12.04]There were 17 colors for a Chevy all red white and blue
[02:16.66]
[02:21.73]I heard them say that you can＇t save that town
[02:26.41]
[02:30.60]But I won＇t leave, I will stand my ground
[02:34.72]
[02:38.66]And it＇s times like these we can＇t replace
[02:44.29]
[02:47.98]It＇s times like these we must embrace
[02:52.54]
[02:57.54]And even though it＇s bittersweet and brings us to our knees
[03:03.91]
[03:08.73]It makes us who we are, in times like these
[03:13.31]
[03:32.02]The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom
[03:34.06]
[03:39.43]In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon
[03:44.68]
[03:49.12]A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above
[03:52.80]
[03:57.62]Cuz in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta love
[04:01.87]
[04:07.18]And I was here watchin＇ it all go down
[04:11.12]
[04:16.11]And I＇ll still be, when it comes back around
[04:19.93]
[04:24.12]And it＇s times like these we can＇t replace
[04:29.49]
[04:33.43]It＇s times like these we must embrace
[04:37.61]
[04:42.93]And even though it＇s bittersweet and brings us to our knees
[04:49.80]
[04:54.30]It makes us who we are, in times like these
[04:58.86]
[05:03.37]It makes us who we are in times like these
