THIS FLAG
CHRIS JANSON
[Spoken]
The flag isn't cloth and color
It's a symbol of everything we fought for
Freedom, sacrifice and brotherhood
We served this nation in time of war
Side by side with men and women
Willing to give up everything
So others could live free
The rights the liberties and opportunities we have
Do not come easy and they are not a guarantee
We've buried friends under that flagRaised it in foreign land
And felt the full weight as we carried it with pride
If we had to do it all over again
We would
Without hesitation
This is why I stand for the flag
I stand for the flag becuase of the warriors who defend it
Who fight not because they hate what's in front of them
But because they love the flag behind them
I'm a US Air Force veteran
I stand for the flag because it breeds frreedom
For all the veterans out here that don't have much
It means a lot to everybody for the safeness of the United States flag
I stand for the flag
Because if it wasn't for that flag
And the people it stands for
I wou;dn't be able to stand at all
Hey this is Johnny Morris of BASS Pro Shops
We all stand because we love America
And we're grateful to and proud of
And love those who defend our freedoms
Including my dad John A.
Who fought in the Battle of the Bulge
That's why we all stand for the flag
[Intro]
C C F C F C G G
[Verse]
It stood pCroud on The Bulge
Flew acrFoss the DelawCare
It's eFarned every sCcar
And still fGlying everywhere
It's been kCicked and it's been cussed
It's been bFurned out in the sCtreet
But it never would give up
'Cause nGah, it just can't be beat
[Pre-Chorus]
It's fAmolded on the mantle
Hanging oFut there on the porch
It's hCigh in New York City
And Gon the country store
[Chorus]
It sFtands for what's rCight
It sGtands for the fAmree
It sFtands for every sCmall town kid
Who Gever had a dream
All the oFnes who left their hComes
And nGever made it bAmack
That's wFhy I sGtand for tChis Flag C
[Verse]
When that aCnthem gets to playing
You won't fFind me on my cCan
I know some people do
Man it rGeally makes me mad
They get to wCalking on my fighting side
JFust like ole HCag
And that's wChy I sGtand for tChis Flag
[Chorus]
'Cause it stFands for what's rCight
It sGtands for the fAmree
It sFtands for every sCmall town kid
Who Gever had a dream
All the oFnes who left their hComes
And nGever made it bAmack
That's wFhy I sGtand for tChis Flag C F C F C G G
[Break]
So y'Call let's take a moment
Bow our hFeads and pay respCect
Quit thinking 'bout oursAmelves
But the oGnes who served instead
[Chorus]
It sFtands for what's rCight
