Old Glory (Concrete) by Richard
/----------------------------------------------------------------\
| O L D | not a name to be used, taken lightly, casually |
| |------------------------------------------------|
| G L O R Y | it comes from within but humbly asserts itself |
| |------------------------------------------------|
| B R A V E | tiding, good omen for oppressed people worldly |
| |------------------------------------------------|
| S Y M B O L | this a new nation meant for, and by the people |
| |------------------------------------------------|
| A Y O U N G | man pledges daily allegiance, piously, serving |
| |------------------------------------------------|
| N A T I O N | earning its name through pride, and assistance |
| |------------------------------------------------|
| S E R V I N G | without regard for race, creed, origin, or God |
| |------------------------------------------------|
| F R E E D O M | the most basic human right to live, and breath |
| |------------------------------------------------|
| H O N O R | those who came before and those yearning daily |
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
| For a life without subjugation or a lingering death to slavery |
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Standing tall as a beacon of hope, soaring higher than tyranny |
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Raised by those whose hearts are full of expectation for peace |
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Colors, never running, waving honorably in the wind of freedom |
\----------------------------------------------------------------/
