Unfurl the banner
and raise it to the sky!

Let Eagle cry from mountain high
the never ending watch
word of our nation.
Now behold this gem of old,
the wonder of the Western sky.
The emblem of the brave and true,
the flag of our liberty,
flag of our destiny.
Red and white
and starry blue stream
out of the banner so high.

Every heart will sing a part
as all across the land
we raise our voices.
Far and near, for all to hear,
the echo of a chorus grand!
Every heart will swell with pride
to sing of our liberty,
sing of our destiny.
As with joy
we now extol the flag
waving over the land.

Let us all hail the flag
in one accord,
let us cheer it
with fervid elation.
It's the flag of the
martyrs gone before,
it's the flag of flags,
the banner of our nation.
It's a beacon for all
who share our dream
of a new day
without domination.
It's the hope of the
peoples now oppressed
and a symbol of their
own emancipation.

Hooray for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our
standard forever.
The gem of the land and the sea,
ever hoist it proud and high.
All nations remember the day
when our fathers
with mighty endeavor
proclaimed as they
marched to the fray
that by their might
and by their right,
it waves forever.

Every time the people
hear the bell of freedom calling,
(calling) calling one and all.
Every living patriotic
citizen will answer, (answer)
answer freedom's call.
Everywhere the bold
and gallant souls
come forth to bear
the cross of duty.
Rising up as one to fight
and die behind the
flag of freedom's beauty.
Patriotic hearts will falter never,
following the stars
and stripes forever.
Marching to the quest,
to east or west,
they quell distress,
the freed oppressed cry out.

Hooray for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our
standard forever.
The gem of the land and the sea,
ever hoist it proud and high.
All nations remember the day
when our fathers
with mighty endeavor
proclaimed as they
marched to the fray,
"Defended by our might,
ever standing for the right,
it waves forever!"

Every time the people
hear the bell of freedom calling,
(calling) calling one and all.
Every living patriotic
citizen will answer, (answer)

Rising up as one to fight
