LONG MAY SHE WAVE!

LONG MAY SHE WAVE!

On a distant hill you see her,
colors blowing gently in the breeze,
The red, white and blue
a lasting impression leaves.

For the red stands for the blood
of men and women who died for liberty;
The white stands for our hope
and the blue for loyalty.

Our flag is a symbol of our hope
that the world will one day be free,
Long may she wave, and be honored
always in our memory.

The homes throughout the country
fly our flag with so much pride,
For each loved one who serves today,
for all those who have died.

For every veteran who stands and
salutes the flag as it passes by,
For every heart it has ever touched;
for every tear in a parents eye.

Long may she wave, Old Glory!
Three cheers for the red. white, and blue!
May freedom ring and our hearts sing
and give our flag its due!
