OLD GLORY - MELISSA BLACK/COMPOSER
I REMEMBER YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GIRL;
I WAS STANDING IN A CLASSROOM TALL AND PROUD;
THE TEACHER SAID PUT YOUR HAND ACROSS YOUR HEART;
WE ALL RECITED THE PLEDGE TO OUR FLAG;
IT’S ALSO KNOWN AS OLD GLORY;
IT STANDS WATCH;
IT STANDS GUARD;
CHORUS:
SO FLY HIGH OLD GLORY;
STAND TALL - STAND PROUD;
WE WILL HONOR YOU WHILE YOU FLY ABOVE US;
YOU STAND FOR FREEDOM.
IT’S BEEN BURNED, TORN AND TRAMPLED;
IT’S BEEN FLOWN IN EVERY BATTLE;
IT’S BEEN SOILED ON IN THE STREETS OF MY COUNTRY;
THERE’S BEEN KNEELING WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE STOOD PROUD;
IT STANDS FOR PEACE, HONOR AND JUSTICE;
A SYMBOL OF FREEDOM, BRAVERY AND SACRIFICE.
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
IT’S A SYMBOL OF LIFE AND LIBERTY; IT’S DRAPED OVER THOSE THAT FOUGHT AND DIED; IT’S BEEN THROUGH WARS BUT IS ALSO OUR GREATEST JOY; SO STAND WITH ME FOR LIBERTY AND EQUALITY.
FINAL CHORUS
