I Am Old Glory
c 2005 Paul Jeffrey Riales

I stand tall
I stand alone
I stand for everything
In the place you call home

I guard the land
I guard the sea
Put your hands upon your heart
When you look up at me.


chorus:
I am Old Glory
You can see me in the sky
I flew in all the wars
And I waved them all goodbye
I've been wounded
And God knows that I've been burned
I am Old Glory,
And I welcome your return.

I swore you in
When you answered my call
I am the blanket
For the ones who give it all

And I wear colors
Proud and true
Mostly red and white
But lately I've been blue

I am Old Glory
You can see me in the sky
I flew in all the wars
And I waved them all goodbye
I've been wounded
And God knows that I've been burned
I am Old Glory,
And I welcome your return.

I get tough
I get loud
When someone thinks
That they can run me to the ground

I got stronger
With those sneak attacks
They must have thought
That they could rip me right in half

But I am Old Glory
You can see me in the sky
I flew in all the wars
And I waved them all goodbye
I've been spit on
And God knows that I've been burned
I am Old Glory,
And I welcome your return.

I am Old Glory
And I welcome your return.
