THE PRIDE OF THE U.S.A.
I am the Star- Spangled Banner
I am beautiful and proud
People salute when I pass by
As I wave above the crowd
I symbolize Patriotism
Of your great U.S.A.
And reign above your Capitol
Where I’m displayed every day
I guard government functions
Grace courts, schools, and halls
I fly high in parks and playgrounds
And wave above your malls
I waved above your battles
‘Til brave soldiers won the wars
And they brought me home in Glory
To the U.S.A.’s great shores
The history of America
Is all wrapped up in me
I stand for many freedoms
I stand for Unity
I am regal in my colors
For all the world to see
And everywhere that I’m displayed
I wave majestically
So stand tall when I’m in view
And hold your head up high
For I’m a banner to respect
