So many reasons at ease to lose heart.
Truth of thus daily, as if need even start.
Often I wonder how we've gone so astray;
leading us, bound, to this very day.
For all of our troubles, every last sin-
So many would sacrifice, to let freedom win.
Such a conundrum, sure this is true;
yet we must stand here protecting, our RED, WHITE AND BLUE.
I pledge allegiance, my foothold is strong;
Our Lady of Liberty, could never be wrong.
Our soldiers they give us, much more than their days...
Steadfast and sturdy, I'll always give praise!
To punish the best of the best that we have
is creating a wound, cured not by a salve!
Honor them, be proud, for they strive for us all;
regardless the threat, still they stand tall!
Noises and sights which from most would fall faint,
onward they triumph, for true grit don't taint!
Raise her, Old Glory, stand back and admire!
Like Phoenix, she too, will again rise from fire!
Salute her, be honored, we are lucky to be!
Praise those who defend her and let her fly free!
