American Flag

Fifty stars they lay so true, Laying in the ocean blue. Thirteen stripes of red and white, For this symbol we will fight Down and dirty throughout the night. Our flag will be flying high, Just until a brave will die. There is no other like our own, This is why we keep it flown. It is ours, our single tag, We fly is high, the American Flag.
