Amy has said in interviews that this song was written to encourage a friend who had moved from the UK to New York and was feeling very isolated and lonely.
[Intro]
Hey
[Verse 1]
In life you've gotta find your feet
In life you've got to dare to dream
Don't worry, we'll still love you, you'll still feel it
Even when we're miles apart
You're living under stars and stripes
In life you got to spread your wings
Don't worry about the little things
Keep fighting, keep trying
We'll be here waiting on the other side
Underneath the stars and stripes
[Pre-Chorus]
This is your song, go write it
Be who you are, don't hide it
You've come so far, don't let it slip away
[Chorus]
Under stars, I'll be where you are
Just call, no matter how far
Under stars, no end to this road
But on we go and still we roam
[Post-Chorus]
Hold my hand, we'll get there some day
Nothing's set in stone until the end
[Verse 2]
This place is going to set you free
My love's the only love you'll need
Do you feel it, like I feel it?
Cause I'll travel half the world tonight
I'll find you under stars and stripes
[Pre-Chorus]
This is your song, go write it
Be who you are, don't hide it
You've come so far, don't let it slip away
[Chorus]
Under stars, I'll be where you are
Just call, no matter how far
Under stars, no end to this road
But on we go and still we roam
Under stars, I'll be where you are
Just call, no matter how far
Under stars, no end to this road
But on we go, on we go
[Post-Chorus]
Hold my hand, we'll get there some day
Nothing's set in stone until the end
Nothing's set in stone until the end
