When America came into history,

the founding fathers said it would be for the brave and the free.

So, they signed their names on the dotted line,

and launched the greatest country of all time.

It was Washington and Jefferson to name a few,

risking their lives for the red, white, and blue.

Oh, say can you see?

It was for you and me.



“When in the course of human events

“We find these truths to be self-evident.”

That’s declaration, constitution, revolution.

We crushed the crown!

We wouldn’t bow down!

Now grab your guns,

Cause these colors don’t run!



Now let’s talk about black history.

We’ve come a long way since slavery.

Frederick D, Crispus A. and Harriet T,

you’re like black gold, you left a legacy.

Oh slave, oh slave, look what you’ve done for me.

You shed your blood, you shed your tears,

for way too many years.



But now you sit with God on high.

You’re like black diamonds; you light up the sky.

Oh no your pain was not in vain.

We are black, strong, and free. We are not in chains.

So now we “Lift every voice and sing:

“Let freedom ring” like Dr. Martin Luther King.



Well, all gave some, but some gave all.

You’ll find their names on the Vietnam Wall.

Oh Yes, I’m talking about the military!

THEY took that oath and know that freedoms not free.

Oh yes, I’m talking about the military.



I took that oath, YOU took that oath, and know that freedoms not free.

That’s Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines,

And when you add the Coast Guard, it’s a fighting machine!

That’s Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.

And when you add the Coast Guard it’s a fighting machine!



Oh, why can’t we respect the few

who put it all on the line like those in blue.

Yes, they’re the first ones to respond

to protect and serve, everyone.







Well, now it’s up to you,

what are you gonna do?

The foundation’s been laid,

and the price has been paid.

I thank God almighty for the son that He gave

for the land of the “free and the home of the brave.”



So, I don’t know what you’re gonna do,

but I will always rise for the red, white, and blue.

Yes, I will stand tall like the Texas T.

I’ll never take a knee for Old Glory!
