Ring in the truth and right
Freedom is for everyone insight
The day that the flag was born
Many families and lives were torn
A tragic lost like this
Many people will be forever missed
Brings so many people together
And others to reach out to another
Love which cures
Hate that brings tragedy
Prayers and thoughts go to all
We are going to stand up and not fall
Our flag that will stand
And every woman and man
With hope
With pride
With faith
With peace
Peace will remain
In which we will gain
With the evil of destruction by our side
With God as our guide
Together we will unite
We will not weaken
We will go stronger
We will give all
Thank God for America
United States of America
