Gene writes: “We wrote this song to honor all that our American flag represents and to be a musical tribute to all of the brave soldiers in our military, both past and present, who've sacrificed their hearts, families, and in some cases, their very lives to protect the freedoms we all experience and enjoy in this country. In these incredibly divisive times, when patriotism is often scorned, and the truth about the cost of our freedoms is either ignored or discounted, we pray that you will speak freely your convictions, enjoy your freedoms, and stand up for the flag.”
Gene is releasing this song for free for you to be blessed. You can pick it up on this link: https://www.collisionpointpublishing.com/standfortheflag
Here are the words:
Verse 1:
She’s stood over battlefields
Wept over soldier’s graves
Been wounded by the cannon fire
Been tattered, torn, and frayed
She’s bowed to weary warriors
For their sacrifices made
She’s sung the song of freedom
When freedom’s voice was stayed
She’s a symbol to the fallen and the brave
A reminder of the freedom won
For president’s and slaves
Chorus:
I’ll stand for the flag that waves proud and free
I’ll stand for the flag that stands strong for me
I will stand for what is true
Of the red (and) white and blue
I will honor all she is with all I have
I will stand for the flag
Verse 2:
As she waves in the stormy winds
She echoes freedom’s cost
Reminds us all to not forget
The heroes that we’ve lost
And she honors those around us
Who still fight for us today
On the streets in our home towns
And in countries far way
She’s been spit upon, and ridiculed, burned, and torn apart
By the angry who’ve cursed her with the freedom she has bought
Chorus:
