[Lyric] I Am the American Flag (John D. Occhipinti)

[Verse 1]
I am the American flag
For peace and honor I can brag
They call me Old Glory
Because I stand for liberty
On the tallest buildings I still fly
With honor, waving to the sky
I am loved, respected and also cheered
And sometimes I am also jeered
But to our enemies, I am feared

[Chorus]
I have been burned, trampled and torn
I have been burned, trampled and torn
Yet I still arise each day
Yet I still arise each day
Defending our dear nation
No matter come what may
On the battlefields of war, I stand with all the brave
My name is Old Glory
My name is Old Glory, and long may I wave
Long may I wave
[Verse 2]
I am the American dream
And yes, I'm held in high esteem
I'm honored each day
Because I show many the way
From Valley Forge to Middle East
God gives us strength that is increased
I stand watch as the world looks up to me
And I give you liberty
Making sure you will remain free

[Chorus]
I have been burned, trampled and torn
I have been burned, trampled and torn
Yet I still arise each day
Yet I still arise each day
Defending our dear nation
No matter come what may, come what may
On the battlefields of war, I stand with all the brave
My name is Old Glory
My name is Old Glory, and long may I wave
Long may I wave
