Analysis of Flames of Pride



The flames of life burn;
Burn bright,
Brightly flickering in the shadows
Shadowed by the darkness
Inspiring flames;
High,raging flames
Burn bright,
As too the American flag
Bright in the shadows of darkness
The flames of pride burns;
Burn bright,
Bringing light to the shadows
Easing the darkness
The flames of Pride burns;
Pride for the red, white and blue!
