Lyrics
Let Our Flags Fly Free
Driving down the highway, I saw our nation?s flag;
Waving in the breeze, it flew, behind it sky so blue.
I closed my eyes and took a breath of air so clean and pure,
Grateful fortune smiled on us with freedom we hold dear.
Life and liberty, pursuing all our dreams,
Our flag, the symbol of this land, how much it really means!
The statue of Liberty, the White House and our legacy-
The freedoms we possess and plan to keep.
Chorus:
Let Freedom ring, let our flags fly free!
Free as the eagle soars, as we were meant to be
Liberty, sweet freedom, in the stars and stripes we see.
Let freedom ring, let our flags fly free!
We rise up in the morning, we choose to work or play,
We hear the birds sing from the trees, as we go about our day
They sing like music to our ears; We watch them fly above.
So glad for freedom and our peace, and to smile at those we love.
The youngest boy or girl, and the oldest here today
Salute our flag of freedom, as we wipe our tears away.
For the heroes and the heroines whose courage was so strong.
Bravely giving up their lives, so we can sing this song.
