Reminder of the America where we grew up and the values therein.
Where has it gone, America,
The America of my youth?
When our flag was respected,
Our Children, believers of truth.
Standing in quiet, rigid stance,
With right hand upon their heart.
Knowing God and American values
Would never stand apart.
A time when men went off to fight,
Their hearts were filled with pride.
Who for our country's honor fought,
And, for her, gladly died.
Standing at the forefront
Of every decision made,
God's Word, there to lead them,
And, in Him, they did obey.
Today, we find Him missing
In things that we hold dear.
Removed by those around us
Who denounce His words to hear.
So, when you pledge allegiance,
Remember who led the way.
Refuse to remove God from it,
He's still only a prayer away.
