My Flag

 Stand by my flag, the stars and stripes

Let the naïve spout their gripes

My heroes wear engraved dog tags

The stars and stripes, stand by my flag

Freedom is work, it comes with cost

Without tending it will be lost

At every turn, enemies lurk

It comes with cost, freedom is work

Home of the brave, land of the free

Move out now if you disagree

Stifle yourself, such words I waive

Land of the free, home of the brave
