For the Flag we Shall Stand


O say can you see America the free A place for you and me A land of greatness But only corruption I see For those stars an those stripes Help us fight for our rights In the dawn's early light But when we don't get our way Riots break out in the night While in the rockets red glare Through time we will bear The ideas we share And we will see proof in the night That our flag is still there. If we can target our guns Under the light of gods sun And remember the flag we have won We can see its not hard To work together as one Though do not point them at each other Instead join with one another And work together like brothers Then to the republic for which it stands It will stand for each other O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of us the free In the home of America the Brave
