Red, white, and blue
The colors are true
With stars and stripes
That are gleaming bright
🇺🇸
You brave men and women
Holding hands
In the far away desert sands
🇺🇸
Fight for the right
In hopes to gain your sight
🇺🇸
You stare at the glare
In the battlefields
Hoping to miss the nightmare
Of not having your shields
🇺🇸
You think about the tomorrows
On what the days will bring
Whether they be joys or sorrows
🇺🇸
I thank you very kindly,
Beth Malbon
