Pledge

I pledge my allegiance to this,
                                  my homeland.
                       Though diverse and different, 
                               united we stand.
                 I will fight for our freedom,
                         understanding it's cost-
                I will honor our soldiers and our citizens lost. 
                          No matter-what color,
                                 our skin seems to be-
        We are all red,white and blue- in this land of the free.
                           I will bow down in thanks 
                           to the god of my choice,
                    To the side of the righteous, 
                                I will lend my voice.
                      Now I pledge my allegiance
                              to this flag of my land-
                     for united in freedom-
                                    forever we stand.
