| Our Starry Flag |  |
| The liberty has filled the chosen land
Unfurling stars of glorious nights
Red strips of dawn with mighty hand
Unleashed the core of civil rights
Thy flying folds unite our busy nation
Thy glory is above the shiny sea
As sign of hope for future generation
Thy wisdom blesses us for free
The battles knew thy marching tone
When signal-trumpet indicates
Thy good will come for gleaming on
There's the fall of enemy gates
Thy tidy waves become the ocean
Thy triumph is floating so high
Thy silent songs raise my emotion
And take my soul to cloudy sky
I must raise our starry-striped flag
Sun has to let old banner shine
My truth is clear; we ought to brag
About our flag which one is fine | By Alex McCoy
