Let the flag fly high

On the pole where raised.

Let the air we breathe

Unfurl its majesty.

 

Soldiers have died

To keep us free.

And upon their grave

Old Glory you will see.

 

O say let it wave

And forever fly.

Because of the brave

That have kept us free.

 

Let the quiet of the day

Hear the cannons roar.

Knowing in peace

It will keep us free.

Stand proudly when the Flag goes by. It may not be waving very much longer . . .
