This flag of red and white and blue
may not mean very much to you,
but as for me this banner flies
and with it’s mighty voice it cries
out to people far and near
to proclaim our freedom here.
A small beginning, I agree,
but as our country grew, our thirst
for land and freedom did not stop.
That land did well; produced a crop
for countries of the world to share
and then they knew our flag was fair.
And underneath this starry wing
foreign peoples help to sing
the greatest story every told,
the story of our country bold.
Of its birth into the world
and of it’s wondrous flag unfurled.
And over the world there ne’er will stand
the flag of any other land
that will mean as much to me
as this flag of liberty. |
