Howie Damron - Star Folded Banner lyrics

[Verse 1] I did not wait 'Til I was drafted I volunteered to fight for home I'm encouraged as a soldier My family's safe and free Where they may roam [Chorus] If I should die defending freedom Then let my work for God be proudly shown Please don't fret about my body Just send a star folded banner to my home [Verse 2] I found this letter folded neatly In a flag at Grandma's home Today I'm free and fight with honor But just like him Please make my request known [Chorus] If I should die defending freedom Then let my work for God be proudly shown Please don't fret about my body Just send a star folded banner to my home [Verse 3] Souls brave and true have gone before me So freedom's light could brightly shine The road of honor stretched before me 'Til freedom's grace is surely yours and mine [Chorus] If I should die defending freedom Then let my work for God be proudly shown Please don't fret about my body Just send a star folded banner to my home [Tag] If I should die defending freedom Just send a star folded banner to my home
