Lyrics

When I was a boy
We put our hands on our hearts
Said a pledge to the flag
Before classes would start
We honored our heroes
That you can bet
Our parents, police, and especially vets
We all stood tall when the flag went by
Sang the Anthem loud
With our heads held high
That was long ago
In a simpler time
When most of us had
American Pride
Now these freedoms we have
They came at a cost
To friends and neighbors
And family we’ve lost
They battled at sea
And faraway lands
Avenging our loss
At terrorist hands
But these colors won’t run
These colors won’t hide
We keep saving the world
With this American Pride
So, lift up the Red, the White, and the Blue
And the Americans
That fight for you
Put America first
Have American Pride
Honor the country were Eagles fly
Sing the Anthem loud
With your head held high
Respect the Flag
Have American Pride
Seems the nation I love
Is on the wrong course
And people don’t talk anymore
We’ve got to find a way
To right the ship
And find a common shore
But to fix this great divide
We have to reach down deep inside
Put politics aside
And find our American Pride
Put America First have American Pride
Honor the country where Eagles fly
Sing the Anthem loud with your head held high
Respect the Flag
Respect the Flag
Protect the Flag
Have American Pride
