Field Of Blue

A field of blue 
For who? 
US or you
If I red, this right 
About the American white 
Knight's 
Field of blue 
Seeking justice true 
Using a vigilant eagle eye 
Persevering every try 
Proudly raising the flag high 
It flies 
Message sent 
Throughout the forging valley's tent 
Watching old glory touch the stars 
Blue field defends its red, white bars 
Healing any freedom scars 
Fifty or thirteen 
It all means 
The same 
When one claims 
An independent life 
While piping the fife 
And banging a drum 
Feeling welcome 
Under the blue sky 
Where the American flag flies 
High
Sounding the call 
Down at the mall 
Holiday sale all 
Month long 
Playing patriotic songs 
Before debating what is wrong 
Making us blue 
Wondering exactly what is true?
That is how we act 
And if you do not like it, go pack
