The National Flag

To those who believe they have god on their side The flag of the Nation a symbol of patriotic pride But pride in national flags is a thing that is Worldwide And so many because of this in wars have died Loved and admired by generations of patriots across decades of time The flag of the Nation inspires song, story and rhyme Of it's beauty and of what it symbolizes the patriots may brag But they carry their loyalty in the colors of a flag National flags similar to the one i see on a flag post today Were carried by young soldiers in wars far away Because of their love of the flag many of them died young They did not live on to hear their praises sung The flag that is carried in many a street parade Because of it many war heroes are made.
