More Than a Flag that down through the ages,
Tells a great and noble story,
Of learned men, and the birth of a nation,
And of their passion, courage, and glory.
More than a flag, stained with the blood,
On battlefields where patriots fell,
Brave souls all, yearning to be free,
And would defend her to the gates of hell.
More than a flag, a testament to truth,
And of brave patriots on a noble quest,
To fight for the right to live in freedom,
In a new nation the Lord has blessed.
More than a flag, a symbol of freedom,
Stars and stripes - red, white, and blue,
See it wave in the wind, above all the fray,
In a land where hopes and dreams come true.
More than a flag, instilled with the spirit,
That prevailed on land and sea,
And sacrificed all, fought and died,
In the struggle to be free.
More than a flag, stood tall and unyielding,
Flew proud against the enemies of state,
And defeated the legions of a mighty king,
And ended the reign of oppression and hate.
More than a flag, from the very beginning,
And even today, she still flies high,
The soldier knows what she stands for,
And is ready to fight, even die.
Fools will burn her, tarnish and spurn her,
They might treat her like a faded old rag,
But none can diminish, imprison, or finish her,
For she is worthy, and more than a flag.
