Stand For The Flag
Written by Gene Schmidt and Gary Forsythe

Verse 1
She’s stood over battlefields
Wept over soldier’s graves
Been wounded by the cannon fire
Been tattered, torn and frayed
She’s bowed to weary warriors
For their sacrifices made
She’s sung the song of freedom
When freedom’s voice was stayed
She a symbol to the fallen and the brave
A reminder of the freedom won
For president’s and slaves
Chorus
I’ll stand for the flag that waves proud and free
I’ll stand for the flag that stands tall (strong?) for me
I will stand for what is true
Of the red (and) white and blue
I will honor all she is with all I have
I will stand for the flag
Verse 2
As she waves in the stormy winds
She echoes freedom’s cost
Reminds us all to not forget
The heroes that we’ve lost
And she honors those around us
Who still fight for us today
On the streets in our home towns
And in country’s far way
She’s been spit upon, and ridiculed, burned and torn apart
By the angry who’ve cursed her with the freedom she has bought

Not In Our Town
Who will defend our daughters who will defend our sons
Make this town a better place where they want to grow up
When others want to force what tears those values down who will say not in out town
Chorus
Who will defend what is right stand up against what is wrong
Defend the family values that made this town strong
Stand against anything that tears those values down I
If it hurts our sons and daughters we say Not In Our Town
They found her body by the side of the road trafficking girls like meat
That can be bought and sold
I say enough when will we stand for what we believe and not be afraid
Of what they’ll do to you and me
Bridge
Some battles are worth fight and should never be ignored
If it makes our town a better place then its worth fighting for.
