FLAG SONG


Out on the breeze,
O'er land and seas,
A beautiful banner is streaming,
Shining its stars,
Splendid its bars,
Under the sunshine 'tis gleaming.
Hail to the flag,
The dear bonny flag-
The flag that is red, white, and blue.

Over the brave
Long may she wave,
Peace to the world ever bringing,
While to the stars
Linked with the bars
Hearts will forever be singing:
Hail to the flag,
The dear, bonny flag-
The flag that is red, white, and blue.



American Flag Flying Out On The Breeze



OUR AMERICAN FLAG


The STARS are states,
United in our nation...

The STRIPES represent
the Thirteen States...

The RED signifies blood
Shed by our brave...

The WHITE denotes virtue,
Forever our aim..

The BLUE is our faith,
In GOD We Trust.
