| Let's Fly the Flag |

|
It's time to fly Old Glory,
And let our patriotism show,
Because we love America,
And God preserved it so
That
we may live in freedom,
From tyrants and tyranny,
To
worship God and Christ, the Lord,
And shape our destiny.
It's up to us as Americans
To defend both right and
truth,
And stand up and be counted,
Though old or in our
youth,
And strive to be found worthy
Of such a blessing
here,
To love this land, America,
Which to my heart is
dear.
Our forefathers fought for it,
And many lost
their lives,
Defending the cause of liberty
For children,
friends and wives,
So we may live in love and peace,
In
a land of liberty,
A land that's free from tyrants,
God
preserved for you and me.
And though there's trouble in
the land,
And poverty and woe,
It's still a land of
liberty,
So let's let our patriotism show,
By rallying
around our banner,
"Tis our Red, White and Blue,
The
Emblem of America's pride,
And patriotism, too.
And
may we never, ever forget
The men and women here,
Who've
fought to keep America free,
Which to their hearts is dear,
And pledge allegiance to the flag,
As it waves o'er land
and sea,
And thank God for America,
This land of
liberty. | By James H. Lee, Jr.
