[Verse]
This old flag torn and frayed
Fingers trace where time has stayed
In the threads of a story
A quiet glory
A weight it carried
Through storms unburied
[Chorus]
The stripes of red crimson
May they never run
Oh may they never run
Hold it high hold it strong
This old flag lives on
[Verse 2]
It lived through battles dust and rain
Through the fire through the pain
Each stitch a witness
Each tear a scar
It’s been to hell
Still raised to the stars
[Prechorus]
Every fold every seam
Echoes someone’s dream
[Chorus]
The stripes of red crimson
May they never run
Oh may they never run
Hold it high hold it strong
This old flag lives on
[Bridge]
It whispers names in the wind
A hymn of where we've been
A battered heart a sacred song
It keeps us standing
When all feels wrong
