Acoustix - The Stars And Stripes Forever lyrics

rate me

Unfurl the banner and raise it to the sky!<br />

<br />

Let Eagle cry from mountain high the never ending watch word of our nation.<br />

Now behold this gem of old, the wonder of the Western sky.<br />

The emblem of the brave and true, the flag of our liberty, flag of our destiny.<br />

Red and white and starry blue stream out of the banner so high.<br />

<br />

Every heart will sing a part as all across the land we raise our voices.<br />

Far and near, for all to hear, the echo of a chorus grand!<br />

Every heart will swell with pride to sing of our liberty, sing of our destiny.<br />

As with joy we now extol the flag waving over the land.<br />

<br />

Let us all hail the flag in one accord, let us cheer it with fervid elation.<br />

It's the flag of the martyrs gone before, it's the flag of flags, the banner of our nation.<br />

It's a beacon for all who share our dream of a new day without domination.<br />

It's the hope of the peoples now oppressed and a symbol of their own emancipation.<br />

<br />

Hooray for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever.<br />

The gem of the land and the sea, ever hoist it proud and high.<br />

All nations remember the day when our fathers with mighty endeavor<br />

proclaimed as they marched to the fray that by their might and by their right, it waves forever.<br />

<br />

Every time the people hear the bell of freedom calling, (calling) one and all.<br />

Every living patriotic citizen will answer, (answer) freedom's call.<br />

Everywhere the bold and gallant souls come forth to bear the cross of duty.<br />

Rising up as one to fight and die behind the flag of freedom's beauty.<br />

Patriotic hearts will falter never, following the stars and stripes forever.<br />

Marching to the quest, to east or west, they quell distress, the freed oppressed cry out.<br />

<br />

Hooray for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever.<br />

The gem of the land and the sea, ever hoist it proud and high.<br />

All nations remember the day when our fathers with might endeavor proclaimed as they marched to the fray,<br />

"Defended by our might, ever standing for the right, it waves forever!"<br />

<br />

Hail to the banner that waves the stars and stripes,<br />

we give our lives for Stars and Stripes!
