It stands for our country,
And what it went through,
To win us our freedom,
When freedom was new.

That braved England's might;
Thirteen in number,
United to fight.

The states in the Union,
The big states and small,
Ready to answer
America's call.

Red stands for courage,
And white, liberty,
And blue for the staunch
In this land of the free.

Hail to our banner,
Still shining like new,
Symbol of faith
In the brave and the true;
Symbol of freedom,
The red, white, and blue.
