These Colors Don't Run

The love I have for my Nation
Is the love of the Red, White and Blue
Thur happiness and thru sorrow
She has waved for all of you.

We all need a symbol to believe in
Our Flag is the perfect thing
During peacetime and during wartime
Our Freedom Bell will always ring.

Other Nations have their colors
Which they conceive are true
But no one else has Old Glory
She's the U.S.A. Red, White and Blue.

Some praise her some condemn her
But when all is said and done
Nothing can abolish her because
These Colors Don't Run.
