Old Glory resiliently stands steady and silent Yet tells a tale Not of its darkest hours, days of doubt But of hope It tells of an ideal fought for, killed to protect It tells of hope That life will be granted with equality, freedom It tells of hope That no enemy shall bring us to our knees It tells of hope That lives lost in battle shall be duly honored It tells of hope That tomorrow will always have a brighter sun It tells of hope

It Tells of Hope
Old Glory resiliently stands steady and silent Yet tells a tale Not of its darkest hours, days of doubt But of hope It tells of an ideal fought for, killed to protect It tells of hope That life will be granted with equality, freedom It tells of hope That no enemy shall bring us to our knees It tells of hope That lives lost in battle shall be duly honored It tells of hope That tomorrow will always have a brighter sun It tells of hope
