More than a flag
By Brandon Davis
After school one day
A boy sat talking with his dad
He said his teacher pulled out a book
Taught us all about the flag
About the red,white and blue
And how each color was defined
And why we stand hand over heart
Pledge allegiance every time
His dad pulled out a box with a folded flag
He said trust me son it means way more than that
It’s more than a flag
Or Stars and Stripes
Yeah it waves for the ones who died
Who gave their lives so you and I can live are own
It stands for the truth
It stands for grace
These colors don’t run
and to this day it carries sacrifice and scars
In every stripe and star it has
You might know the definition but the truth is
It’s more than a flag
He said your granddad fought in Vietnam back in ‘65
352 dropping bombs to lessen for all the threats he had to fight
Got sent home in ‘71
With one less leg and a Purple Heart
He use to say I gave some but some gave all
And that’s what were fighting for
They gave your grandma this box on the day he passed
Fired 21 shots and folded up that flag
It’s more than a flag
Or Stars and Stripes
Yeah it waves for the ones who died
Who gave their lives so you and I can live are own
It stands for the truth
It stands for grace
These colors don’t run
and to this day it carries sacrifice and scars
In every stripe and star it has
You might know the definition but the truth is
It’s more than a flag
It’s there when we fight
It’s there where we fought
For shows right at home
Yeah you know it’s true
Its why we bleed red, white and blue
It’s more than a flag
Or Stars and Stripes
Yeah it waves for the ones who died
Who gave their lives so you and I can live are own
It stands for the truth
It stands for grace
These colors don’t run
and to this day it carries sacrifice and scars
In every stripe and star it has
You might know the definition but the truth is
It’s more than a flag
You might know the definition but the truth is
It’s more than a flag
