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
