The Red, White, and Blue

The Red, White, and Blue
 You were in every place we knew.
 When your Colors flew,
 Everyone in silence stood.

American Flag, you blew in the wind
 there were uniformed women and men
 In Iraq, Germany, Somalia, and Japan
 All over the world as we fought for freedom.

 Old Glory, you showed your stars and stripes in the fiery night
 When our troops crossed the desert dry
 Without waver, our soldiers even flew across the sky
 And yet you were there to see our heroes die.

 Symbol of Peace, you wave with pride and honor
 For those who live in our country and those that wonder
 Freedom didn't come free and that is somber
 But the price was paid with a sea of burnt umber.

 So, Stars and Stripes forever you will be
 The flag that reminds us of our liberty
 In this grandeur state, we believe
 That every soul should be free.

 Years have gone, things have changed
 Wars continue on with rage
 But United We Stand and stay
 So that We can Say God Bless the USA.
