Let Not Die The Stars And Stripes

Those in the days of orderly thought and behavior saw love of God and Country as same
Fought on foreign soil know the excitement that came
When our men and women would show their bravery without blame,
And even in the dimmest light, the sight, and might of it, would wake within us a flame.
The Stars and Stripes stirred deep within our souls our claim.

We who in these new days of trouble and confusion and life with hidden fees
Throughout our country the older generation sees
A younger generation waiting for someone for them a job to seize.
And while I'm not saying these are times of ease
It seems the dream it used to represent to those has lost all respect over seas.

We need to wake up the sleeping giant again
and remind Her what the spirit is about that we call American.
And if we need to return to toil in the fields and grow the grain
let us remember the price that was paid and that it was not in vain.
For if we do nothing we will surely be our own bane.

So those who face the days of present and question why
let not let die
the Stars and Stripes and apple pie.
And do not buy the cry
of The Stars and Bars and a politicians lie.
