[bodytext] => I was created as a representation together, my colors are beautiful and bright I am held high with pride oh what a beautiful sight I have been carried into many battles some have been lost and some have been won My representation is freedom earned by the sacrifices of a mother, father, daughter or son I am the American Flag honoring your salutes or hand over heart I represent your strength together, this country we will not allow to fall apart Keep your honor in our country stand tall when terror comes our way Sing our National Anthem loud let everyone hear what our pride has to say My colors resemble bloodshed they also resemble bandages for wounds of war They resemble strongly the soldier’s lives lost on any foreign shore Nobody should ever turn their pride on me Trying to remove me from schools is something we just can’t let be To lie me on the ground and walk upon me with your feet It’s such a disgrace to our country but the honor of our Veterans, you will never defeat Lately, people have chosen to desecrate me it’s a shame they feel this way If they do not honor my representation then they should find another country where they can stay Copyright © 2015 E.
