Raise the Flag
The Beckoning Flag
Over a many people diverse
Whose countries conditions are worse
Looking to our shining shores of sand
Full of hope and a plan
Raise the flag The Freedom Flag
Over foreign lands
Given aid by comforting hands
In the hopes of reaching across the sea
And giving help that will let them be free
Raise the flag The Welcoming flag
For the troops who have fought
Some with lives, our freedom bought
Whose willingness their time they share
To bring others out of despair
Place the flag The Grief-Stricken Flag
Over a closed casket of a hero fallen
A life cut short, a life stolen
Taken in the prime
To ensure your freedom and mine
