Symbol of Liberty

An eagle soaring through the clouds
What a lovely sight to see
He is the symbol of our land
A sign of liberty

His wings are strong and mighty
As he spread them open wide 
To glide across the deep blue sky
So large he can not hide

The colors of old glory
The old red white and blue
A story told in history
A flag honest and true

Our country stands for freedom
We love this wonderful land
As our flag unfurls its colors
We will all take a stand

Our land is like these symbols
Standing brave and tall
Waiting to sour among the clouds
And answering freedoms call
