Lyrics

Verse 1:
High up in the air, half-way up a pole
Is a flag that flies for someone we all probably should know
Don?t know who it is, I haven?t got a clue
But I?m sure I?ll know the answer when I hear the evening news

Chorus:
I give thanks I woke to see another day and maybe took somebody?s place
The tears will come and go
But all the memories will last
And we?re reminded when the flag?s half-mast

Verse 2:
The red, white, and the blue blowing in the wind
Appears to wave its last goodbye to an old and trusted friend
A life just disappeared, gone without a trace
Another soul has left this world to find a better place

Chorus:
I give thanks I woke to see another day and maybe took somebody?s place
The tears will come and go
But all the memories will last
And we?re reminded when the flag?s half-mast

Bridge:
It may fly for a soldier far from home
Or college students barely grown

Chorus:
I give thanks I woke to see another day and maybe took somebody?s place
The tears will come and go
But all the memories will last
And we?re reminded when the flag?s half-mast

Tag:
I say a prayer when the flag?s half-mast
