Billowing in the wind is a flag,

Constructed of colors and stars,

What makes it not a rag?

Visible to the amoeba in cars.

Constructed of colors and stars,

Giving off a sense of pride,

Visible to the amoeba in cars,

In the breeze it shall glide.

Giving off a sense of pride,

Trumping those who are despotic,

In the breeze it shall glide,

Love of it is patriotic.

Trumping those who are despotic,

What makes it not a rag?

Love of it is patriotic,

Billowing in the wind is a flag.
