Our flag stands for our unity
Our courage and our might
A symbol of our history
Flown from daybreak to night
Its colors wave amid the breeze
To represent our will –
The hopes and dreams we long to seize
And beliefs we instill.

Our flag is made of stripes and stars
And flies for liberty
The freedoms that we claim as ours
Brought forth in bravery
A testament to all the things
For which our nation strives
To this day, our Grand Old Flag brings
Compassion to our lives.

Our flag is a priceless emblem
Of the livelihood we love
Red, white and blue in tandem
With assurance from above
Our nation’s colors do astound
In their own sovereign way
So, let our praise always surround
Their worth, on each Flag Day!
