Keep Old Glory Flying

Many would dismiss her as tradition
no longer worth the time.
never considering the lives who've fought
so old glory could fly.

It's the shame of a nation when children
no longer say the pledge.
We're living in crisis times.
What or who has pushed us to the edge?

Our leaders no longer listen
to the words "we the people say."
They overlook the constitution
looking for a better way.

Our service men and women
continue to raise our standard high,
but do people in Washington
really care if they live or die?

Radicals and socialists pervert the truth
with stories and lies.
Patriots must band together
to be sure Old Glory still flies.



Preamble to the United States Constitution: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
