Old Glory

by David Knape

A quivering lip
a teary eye
is what I get
when the flag goes by
and when the anthem
notes are heard
I choke back tears
as I sing the words

As bugles play
I humbly sing
allegiance to
this flag of fame
red white and blue
flag of the brave
may it remain
forever wave

Stars and stripes
proudly proclaimed
may you endure
forever reign
oh flag of freedom
'tis of thee
symbol of hope
and liberty.
