The Day That We Hung Up the Flag
The day that we hung up the flag
Was a day I'd wanted to see
And the sun fell bright on the stars and the stripes
Her glory reflected on me all around
The day that we hung up the flag
The day that we laid down our guns
Was a day I'd wanted to see
And the mothers all cried and the fathers just sighed
A breath of relief for daughters and sons
The day that we laid our guns on the ground
Her glory reflected on me all around
The day that we hung up the flag
The land of the free yeah fine by me
The home of the brave go save the country
The only home I ask you to be
Is one for a guy who can't get it right
Sweat and regret stinging his eyes
A second, a third, a fourth, a fifth try
For folks who fall to mistakes
The evening we took down the flag
Was an evening I'd wanted to see
And I bowed my head as I crawled in my bed
And prayed myself to sleep so sound
And thought of the guns we'd laid on the ground
Remember her glory that shown all around
The day that we hung up the flag
The day that we hung up the flag
Was a day I'd wanted to see
And the sun fell bright on the stars and the stripes
Her glory reflected on me all around
The day that we hung up the flag
The day that we laid down our guns
Was a day I'd wanted to see
And the mothers all cried and the fathers just sighed
A breath of relief for daughters and sons
The day that we laid our guns on the ground
Her glory reflected on me all around
The day that we hung up the flag
The land of the free yeah fine by me
The home of the brave go save the country
The only home I ask you to be
Is one for a guy who can't get it right
Sweat and regret stinging his eyes
A second, a third, a fourth, a fifth try
For folks who fall to mistakes
The evening we took down the flag
Was an evening I'd wanted to see
And I bowed my head as I crawled in my bed
And prayed myself to sleep so sound
And thought of the guns we'd laid on the ground
Remember her glory that shown all around
The day that we hung up the flag
The day that we hung up the flag
