Old Glory

Stars and Stripes
	
	    Old Glory


Look at what has made us strong
the red the white the blue
Tens of thousands gave their lives
they did it just for you

None were made to sacrifice
they did it on their own
Fighting for what's in their hearts
not what's set in stone

Those who burn it or deface it
don't sacrifice a thing
They're the ones that trash our country
they'll never stand and sing

Stars and Stripes will keep us strong
united we must stand
God bless, the American Flag
that waves throughout our land.....
