More Than a Flag Songtext
von Brandon Davis

After school one day a boy sat talking with his dad
He said the teacher pulled out a book and taught us all about the flag
About the red, white and blue and how each color was defined
And why we stand hand over heart and pledge allegiance every time
His dad pulled out a box with a folded flag
And said trust me son it means way more than that

It′s more than a flag or stars and stripes
Yea it waves for the ones who died
And gave their lives so you and I could live our own
It stands for truth, it stands for grace
These colors don't run and to this day
It carries sacrifice and scars in ever stripe and star it has
You might know the definition but the truth is
It′s more than a flag


He said your grandad fought in Vietnam back in '65
352nd dropping bombs to lessen the threats he had to fight
Got sent home in '71 with one less leg and purple heart
He used to say all gave some but some gave all and that′s what we′re fighting for
They gave your grandma this box on the day he passed
Fired 21 shots and folded up that flag

It's more than a flag or stars and stripes
Yea it waves for the ones who died
And gave their lives so you and I could live our own
It stands for truth, it stands for grace
These colors don′t run and to this day
It carries sacrifice and scars in ever stripe and star it has
You might know the definition but the truth is
It's more than a flag

It′s there when we fight
It's there when we fall
On foreign shores and right at home
Yea you know it′s true
That's why we bleed red, white ad blue


It's more than a flag or stars and stripes
Yea it waves for the ones who died
And gave their lives so you and I could live our own
It stands for truth, it stands for grace
These colors don′t run and to this day
It carries sacrifice and scars in ever stripe and star it has
You might know the definition but the truth is
It′s more than a flag
Yea you might know the definition but the truth is
It's more than a flag
