Lyrics
The flag of our nation. A flag under God.
To our flag we will always be true.
Stand proud, stand tall with hand over heart,
As we honor the red, white, and blue.
A symbol of freedom. A banner for all
Who reside underneath it's proud wave.
Though battered and torn, shattered and worn,
It flies o'er the home of the brave.
Stand proud, stand tall,
With hand over heart for this flag we so love.
May this land always be strong and free,
And protected by God from above.
We are a proud nation. One under God.
It was He who gave us this land.
Free we remain to praise His great name.
Rise up, and for God make a stand.
Our flag has flown high over battlefields.
Covered caskets of daughters and sons.
Great is the cost, through lives that are lost.
Let's remember and honor each one.
Stand proud, stand tall.
With respect for this flag that we love.
May this land always be strong and free,
And protected by God from above.
