Red, white, and true

The American flag
Is everywhere
Night or day, rain or shine
What it represents is inside me
And also inside you
We carry it everywhere
Our freedom rings in our heart
The right to speak without fear
The flag reflects our pride and peace
We carried it through the perilous fights
We carry it through our daily battles
The American flag is an emblem of peace among us all
