The Hookhunters - The Flag We Fly Lyrics

I like old pictures and paintings, depicting brave women and men
Patriots fighting for freedom - Oh how we need them again
Because an evil wind is a blowing - all across the Western world
Like soldiers we stand and face it - let the stars and stripes be unfurled

Walk up to the flagpole, and pull the wire
To raise Old Glory higher and higher

Look at this flag we fly - waving it proud and high
It stands for the righteous, the free and the brave
Look at the tears we've cried - remember the men who died
They didn't do it for fortune and fame
They died so we can carry on the flame

The words of the founding fathers - should be in our hearts and our heads
Sometimes this land must be fertilized - isn't that what Jefferson said
We know a storm is 'a brewing - and soon the clouds will break
We must fight for our own freedom - for God and for country's sake

Walk up to the flagpole, grab hold of the wire
And raise Old Glory higher and higher

Look at this flag we fly - waving it proud and high
It stands for the righteous, the free and the brave
Look at the tears we've cried - remember the men who died
They didn't do it for fortune and fame
They died so we can carry on the flame

The Bible will show us the way and lead us to a brighter day
We must walk in the light unafraid and pay all debts that go unpaid
It's not money we owe, to those heroes we know, in those pictures from long ago

Gather together all patriots, stand shoulder to shoulder as men
Get your stone cold eyes, they're painting our picture again

Walk up to the flagpole, pull the wire
And raise old glory higher and higher

Look at this flag we fly - waving it proud and high
It stands for the righteous, the free and the brave
Look at the tears we've cried - remember the men who died
They didn't do it for fortune and fame
They died so we can carry on the flame
Ohhh - they died so we can carry on the flame
