This is our flag It waves red, white and blue It proudly waves for me and for you We have looked at our flag under sunny skies We have looked to our flag with tears in our eyes Our flag is a symbol of power and might Our flag is a symbol of truth and what's right Athletes may kneel for the National Anthem But they really don't understand the freedom it grants them Brave men and women have died for this flag So we can enjoy the freedoms we now have Our flag has been attacked, torn and burned Through all of this, what have we learned? That we as Americans by and large
This is our flag
It waves red, white and blue
It proudly waves for me and for you
We have looked at our flag under sunny skies
We have looked to our flag with tears in our eyes
Our flag is a symbol of power and might
Our flag is a symbol of truth and what's right
Athletes may kneel for the National Anthem
But they really don't understand the freedom it grants them
Brave men and women have died for this flag
So we can enjoy the freedoms we now have
Our flag has been attacked, torn and burned
Through all of this, what have we learned?
That we as Americans by and large
Live in the best country under the stars
And yes, some may try to destroy her with their hateful chatter
But in the end they don't really matter
Our flag is just a material thing
But she lives on in our hearts and we will proudly sing
The National Anthem with our hand over our heart
And try as they might, they cannot start
Us to believe that this country is bad
And we lost our way and all that we had
I CANNOT AND WILL NOT accept this as true
I believe in our flag, and I hope you do too!
