These Colors Won't Run - B.J. Thomas

As I watch Old Glory

Waving in the wind

I think of what it stands for

And everywhere it’s been

Each states shows independence

By having it’s own star

Red stands for courage

And blood shed in the war

White is for the innocence

Lost on the battlefield

Blue stands for justice

That will always prevail

These colors won’t run

They’re tried and true

The promise of freedom

Is in the red, white and blue

They stand for what is right

And if it takes a fight to get it done

These colors won’t run

When our freedom is challenged

We won’t back down

Even on foreign soil

We stand our ground

We’ll defy the largest foe

For what we believe

Defend the smallest friend

In their time of need

And time after time

We’ve answered the call

And through every battle

Our flag weathered it all

These colors won’t run

They’re tried and true

The promise of freedom

Is in the red, white and blue

They stand for what is right

And if it takes a fight to get it done

These colors won’t run
