God Bless AmericaWww@QuestionHome@Com

The song is Grand Ole Flag

This is from memory, so there may be a glitch:

You're a grand old flag
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave

You're the emblem of the land I love

The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true for the red white and blue
and there's never a boast or bray

And should all acquaintences be forgot
Keep your eye on that grand ole flag!.


Irving Berlin wrote a number of patriotic songs such as Yankee Doodle Boy and God Bless America as well!.

It's a great song and Berlin was a great songwriterWww@QuestionHome@Com

"God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night
With a light
From above"

Actually, Berlin wrote "God Bless America" in 1918, but he wrote a revised version made famous by Kate Smith in 1938!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
