Torn and tattered Red
Dirtied White and Blue
In the Storm of War
She proved Our
God’s Faithful and so True

Stripes of brilliant Red
All the Blood which young Men Shed
So Precious and so True
Honoring
The Courageous Lives they led

Brilliant field of Stars
Crimson and Ivory Bars
Standing for the Right
That she will make
it through another Night

But Don’t Stop Believing
This isn’t our first Romance
Some are set to grieving
And Some rejoice in Dance

But Don’t stop believing
Just lend her a helping hand
This flag she tells the Story
Of How God so loved this Land

For she still Flies So High in Glory
And those Whom He adores
We remember all His Blessings
Wishing peace to you
And Yours

But When Wars they come Upon US
So Proudly she will wave
To fill our hearts with Courage
Recalling men who were so brave

So don’t stop believing
Just Give her another Chance
For the Live’s for which she’s flying
Depend upon Your Stance

No Don’t stop Believing
Though Torn in disrepair
She’ll shine so bright
throughout Each Night
Giving Hope to all Truly Care

It’s not just a flag we honor
But what this land and We become
Telling all that we have fought for
And the Kingdom yet to Come.
