LYRICS
In the midnight hour I see her waving proudly thru the
night. The stars and stripes she bares are a
glorious sit. They represent all the heroes who
couldn't stand to see her fall. They represent this
great nation and remind us all.
Chorus There
is still a land of freedom and a home for the brave.
A nation under God where justice reigns. There's a
country united however different we may be. We can
walk a littler taller when we see, Old Glory
There is strength within her colors and a courage all
can see that brings hope and peace to some and others to
their knees. There is power in her presence and a
calm within her wave and if you listen closely you can
hear her say.
Chorus There is still a land
of freedom and a home for the brave. A nation under
God where justice reigns. There's a country united
however different we may be. We can walk a little
taller when we see, Old Glory.
She's been
tattered, she's been turned, been abused and even
burned. But she hasn't lost a thread of dignity,
because her strength can't be found in her colors or her
bounds. Her strength is found in you and me.
So
let us all remember the sacrifices made. The battle
we've won and the prayers we've prayed.
Let's
make sure that our heroes didn't sacrifice in vain. Let
us join together and proudly proclaim.
Chorus
There is still a land of freedom and a home for the
brave. A nation under God where justice reigns.
There's a county united however different we may be.
We can walk a little taller when we see, Old Glory.
So let's walk a little taller when we see, Old
Glory. Old Glory
Special note about Phil Stacey
Phil Stacey was deeply shaken by the events of September
11, 2001 and opted to join the Navy to serve his
country.
"I enlisted in the military, and they ended up
putting me in a band," says Stacey of being tapped to be
the lead vocalist of the Navy Band Southeast. "It was an
incredible experience and I carry that with me
everywhere I go. I've met some amazing people and walked
through unforgettable experiences including singing at
memorial services for some of our fallen heroes. I'm
incredibly honored to have served in the Navy."
Phil Stacey.
Old Glory
