Flag Song

Out on the breeze,

O'er land and seas,

A beautiful banner is streaming,

Shining its stars,

Splendid its bars,

Under the sunshine 'tis gleaming.

Hail to the flag,

The dear, bonny flag—

The flag that is red, white, and blue.


Over the brave

Long may it wave,

Peace to the world ever bringing,

While to the stars

Linked with the bars

Hearts will forever be singing:

Hail to the flag,

The dear, bonny flag—;

The flag that is red, white, and blue.
