And in the corner it is blue.
My flag stands for my country.
I love red, white, and blue!
Fifty white stars (March with arms in the air making sparkles by
On a field of blue- opening and closing your fists.)
A star for each state it is true.

From North to South (March pointing in front, behind,
And East to West to the right and then the left.)
We pledge to the flag each day. (Hand over heart.)
