Lyrics
  • Its shining folds of red and white Stream out like beams of morning light: Each star stands firm for truth and right, It’s my flag too! Refrain: It’s my flag, too, the Red, White, and Blue, The flag that leads to victory is my flag, too! It’s my flag, too, the Red, White, and Blue, The starry flag of Liberty is my flag, too. Verse: Uplift the flag triumphantly That made us one from sea to sea! Unstained forever may it be, Our emblem true. From north to south, from east to west, It waves above a country blest, Whose people have stood the test, It’s my flag too! Refrain Verse: O flag that tyrants have defied, For which brave men have bled and died, Unsullied wave, our hope, our pride, Forever new
  • And while to heavn’n its folds we fling, A new, allegiance we still bring, And ev’ry voice united sing, It’s my flag too! The fairest flag beneat
  • It’s My Flag, Too Verse: The fairest flag beneath the sun, The flag that glorious freedom won, That tells of deeds of valor done, With pride we view
