Lyrics

Verse 1:
Lately Old Glory
Ain't flyin' where she should be
She's been hangin' low and angry but she's hangin' tough
Either at half mast or taken down completely
Between the fightin' and tragedy, Lord, we've had it rough
So when we decide we've had enough

Chorus:
Let's raise her up like a chest out chin up high
Raise her up where she can't be denied
Reminding us of all that we could be
Raise her up like your glass on a Friday night
A toast to the ones who give their lives
Fightin' for our right to disagree
Raise her up

Verse 2:
Now I ain't sayin'
That I've got all the answers
I just know when I look to find her I look up
To the future for our sons and daughters
Like a star-spangled reminder that in God we trust
So when we decide we've had enough

(Chorus)

Bridge:
'Cause when she hangs her head
It ain't about left or right, no
We're all one of her own

Pre-Chorus:
So raise her up
Like a symbol to all nations
That even through out tribulations
These colors don't run, no

Final Chours:
We raise 'em up like a chest out chin up high
Like every day is the fourth of July
Raise her up proud, where she belongs
Raise her up like your glass on a Friday night
A toast to the ones who are out there dying
Prayin' that we learn to get along
Raise her up
