Lyrics
Your Flag and My Flag Verse: Your flag and my flag, And how it flies today. In your land and my land, And half a world away! Rose‐red and blood‐red The stripes forever gleam. Snow‐white and soul‐white, The good forefathers’ dream. Sky‐blue and true blue, With stars to gleam a‐right. The gloried guidon of the day, A shelter through the night. Sky‐blue and true blue, With stars to gleam a‐right. The gloried guidon of the day, A shelter through the night. Verse: Your flag and my flag! To ev’ry star and stripe. The drums beat as hearts beat And fifers shrilly pipe! Your flag and my flag, A blessing in the sky. Your hope and my hope, It never hid a lie! Homeland and far land, And half the world around, Old glory hears our glad salute, And ripples to the sound! Homeland and far land, And half the world around, Old glory hears our glad salute, And ripples to the sound! Verse: Your flag and my flag! And, oh, how much it holds. Your land and my land, Secure with in its folds! Your heart and my
