Old Glory

Have you stood beside Old Glory

To hear her whipping in the wind

She tells this nation's story

Time and yet again

Have you listened with your heart

To what she has to say

The years through which she's traveled

To wave in pride today

At times she flies in silence

Her stars become her eyes

She's flown over foreign soil

A goal to realize

She flew that day in Washington

Over Martin Luther King

And flew in Oklahoma

Over tragedy unseen

She was hoisted upon the rubble

When the towers they did fall

Not a cry shall be forgotten

For she has heard them all

She greets soldiers into battle

Thanks them more than any other

When for her beauty their lives they give

It is she that grants them cover

For those who don't respect her

I can only grant you shame

This great symbol of our country

Old Glory be her name

Those with wisdom and those with pride

Come listen close to me

Hold Old Glory deep inside

Your hearts I beg of thee
