In the distance I can see her through the glare
of harsh sunlight
Coming toward me, flying freely, waving proudly,
shining bright
Stars and stripes there bold and blazing showing off
her colors true
Red for blood shed to protect us, white stars in a
sea of blue
I watch proudly as she sails held up high for all
to see
By a boy dressed like the soldier that he might one
day be
Though her weight bears down upon him he stands tall
that she may wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
I see in that DISTANT GLORY those who gave
themselves with pride
Those who lived through hell for honor, those who
fought and bled and died
They gave their all to defend her, to ensure our
freedom, too
I see them in that DISTANT GLORY of the Red, White
and Blue
She’s a symbol of their bravery and the sacrifice
they made
Her colors waving in the distance tell the price of
pain they paid
In triumph or defeat they as one refused to fall
And I salute in her those heroes, proud defenders
one and all
Cuz I see in that DISTANT GLORY those who gave
themselves with pride
Those who lived through hell for honor, those who
fought and bled and died
They gave their all to defend her, to ensure our
freedom, too
I see them in that DISTANT GLORY of the Red, White
and Blue
And we will not forget you today’s soldiers
young and brave
We’ll cling tightly to the freedoms that you’re
fighting now to save
In the distance I can see her through the glare of
harsh sunlight
Coming toward me, flying freely, waving proudly,
shining bright…
I see in that DISTANT GLORY all who give
themselves with pride
Who now live through hell for honor
Who now fight and bleed and die
The Stars and Stripes will fly forever, Freedom ours
eternally
And I see in that DISTANT GLORY all who fight to
keep us free
And I salute you one and all
who’ve ever fought to keep us free
