Our flag will fly
in glory high
with colors true,
red, white and blue
when you return without harm
back into America's arms.
But for now we wait
in everlasting faith
and sending out a prayer so true
that God be there to accompany you.
In our waiting, anticipating
times of happy celebrating.
Home fires will burn
til you return.
May eagle's wings steadfast and strong
carry you home where you belong
where Old Glory's colors fly,
where family and friends again are nigh.
