I am the flag of AMERICA,
proudly waving the red, white & blue;
my stars represent the UNITED STATES,
to her I shall ever be true ~

I've been carried into battles,
by troops willing to die;
and, cover'd the coffins of many
So proudly o'er their graves I fly!

Placed in the hands of parents,
felt their hot tears, my colors stain;
as they hugg'd me to their bosoms,
for their losses, in deep grief & pain.

I've been draped over Crosses amany,
For too many years to recall;
Representing a land and its losses,
with Freedom & Justice for all.
 

I've been tatter'd, cursed & burned,
so despised ~ I now carry the scars;
in lands far away & by those I call my own,
yet still waving my stripes & stars.

So proudly my colors, the red, white & blue,
With honor and strength I shall wave;
o'er the land I call mine, the Great USA,
The Home of the Free and The Brave !
