I like old pictures and paintings Depicting brave women and men Patriots fighting for freedom Oh how we need them again Because an evil wind is a blowing All across the Western world Like soldiers we stand and face it Let the stars and stripes be unfurled Walk up to the flagpole and pull the wire To raise Old Glory higher and higher Look at this flag we fly waving it proud and high It stands for the righteous the free and the brave Look at the tears we've cried remember the men who died They didn't do it for fortune and fame They died so we can carry on the flame The words of the founding fathers Should be in our hearts and our heads Sometimes this land must be fertilized Isn't that what Jefferson said We know a storm is 'a brewing And soon the clouds will break We must fight for our own freedom For God and for country's sake Walk up to the flagpole grab hold of the wire And raise Old Glory higher and higher Look at this flag we fly waving it proud and high It stands for the righteous the free and the brave Look at the tears we've cried remember the men who died They didn't do it for fortune and fame They died so we can carry on the flame The Bible will show us the way and lead us to a brighter day We must walk in the light unafraid and pay all debts that go unpaid It's not money we owe to those heroes we know in those pictures from long ago Gather together all patriots Stand shoulder to shoulder as men Get your stone cold eyes They're painting our picture again Walk up to the flagpole pull the wire And raise old glory higher and higher Look at this flag we fly waving it proud and high It stands for the righteous the free and the brave Look at the tears we've cried remember the men who died They didn't do it for fortune and fame They died so we can carry on the flame They died so we can carry on the flame
