50 stars against a field of blue for the endless sky above
Red stripes for the blood shed to defend it
White stripes for freedom and all it stands for
Over the years
Wars could not bring it down
A country divided by a civil war could not harm it
Guns fired around it
Bombs explodes near it
People have died defending it
It still stands
Through
Rain
Sleet
High winds
And whatever Mother Nature wishes to send
Yet the flag still stands
People have spat upon it
Set it aflame
Let it fall to the ground and stomped on it
Or ran it over with their vehicles
Yet the flag still stands
50 stars against a field of blue for the endless sky above
Red stripes for the blood shed to defend it
White stripes for freedom and all it stands for
