America's flag stands for freedom.
As it waves in the wind so proud.
We are the home of the free and the brave,
It says to nations quite loud.

The stars are like badges of honor,
On a sea of red, white, and blue.
Worn by our country's military,
Who fight for me and for you.

Our flag says we are united,
As it flies on our houses and cars.
It comforts the hearts that were broken,
Like a bandage it covers our scars.

America's flag stands for freedom,
For liberty, and justice for all.
We fight so there will be peace,
America will never fail.
