Our Flag
Red like the spill of heroes' blood
White like Freedom's holy cause
Blue like the limitless sky above
~ ~ ~ Our Flag ~ ~ ~
Fifty stars for fifty states
Liberty's spirit hammers out its fate
Ardent heroes under it fought and died
God grant that its colors forever may fly
Declaration of Independence unfurled in the breeze
Aways and forever may mankind be free
Yet Freedom's Emblem waves above the trees. Salute it proudly, so that all may see!
