Celebrating 50:Vii

That night they took it down
The red white and blue
I saw it heaven bound
Black, green, and gold and you
Who believe this country could
And we who believe 
This country would
Rise to the top of the pole
And wave her destiny like wand
Over castles tunbled in the sand
Then night went away
And we saw the sweat and sun of day
And our flag
A proud country on display
